Six trapped workers are found deep underground and rescued by Spanish police, after a raid on an illegal tobacco factory near the southern city of Malaga

MONDA, Spain - Six workers trapped in squalid, airless conditions were rescued from an elaborate cannabis farm and counterfeit tobacco factory hidden beneath a mountain village in Spain after police arrested the suspected masterminds of the operation.

But once the suspected kingpins were seized, no one replenished the generator that provided oxygen to the workers, a mix of Ukrainian and Lithuanian nationals. “Once inside, the police agents saw with great surprise the six workers who were struggling to breathe in an utterly insalubrious atmosphere,” police said.

The underground factory in Monda, near Malaga in southern Spain, housed an indoor cannabis plantation and sophisticated machinery enabling even the plastification of cigarette packs, all kept away from prying eyes by “enormous security measures”, according to police documents.

how many more immigrants are running out of air underground around the country? what if the cops had left 5 min earlier or if they hadn't heard the screams?

trapped workers rescued from a counterfeit tobacco factory hidden beneath a mountain are what's called 'slaves' They've been kidnapped and enslaved. That's called slavery.

Big tobacco don't control them so its called 'counterfeit'. The world wonders why everyone is broke and struggling. 🤷

Taxes on tobacco are lower in Spain than in UK or the USA, you people don't know what you're talking about, in fact the Brits smuggle or take Spanish tobacco to Britain. And habanos and similar are real cheap.

I guess this is what happens when you use taxes as a means to correct society's ills. In this case to make fill Gov coffers without push back from voters.

LMAO

Imagine their reaction once they find out how 2020 has been so far.
