A vile couple who kept vulnerable victims as slaves and forced them to work for free have been jailed. Maros Tancos and Joanna Gomulska, both 46, were the ringleaders of a human trafficking and modern slavery operation in Bristol.
The couple persuaded dozens of vulnerable people to travel from Slovakia to work for them at a city car wash and carry out almost £1million of work for free. Tancos and Gomulska kept up to 10 people living in the three-bedroom house at a time, locking them inside when the couple went out.
Tancos exploited his links to orphanages and camps in Slovakia to recruit them, promising transport, a place to live and food, and a better life. Shocking photos reveal the squalor the slaves were forced to live in.
