Dozens of Indian farmers have been freed from “slave-like” working conditions in Northern Italy.

The 33 workers were lured to the country with the promise of jobs and a better future.

Allegedly, they were forced to work more than ten hours a day, seven days a week, their tiny wage used to pay off debts to the alleged gangmasters.

Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge that when the men were arrested, they had over three quarters of a million AUD on them.

He said that the 33 workers are now being looked after by social services and migrant support.
