Three people forced a Latvian man to work and took his wages after it was arranged for him to move to Wales. The victim was vulnerable and turned up to work in the same dirty clothes every day.
The "hardworking" man was also given little food or water after arriving in Wales for a better life after living in Latvia and working in Germany. He was taken to an address in Newport and threatened he would be in trouble if he did not pay off a debt of thousands of pounds, or his family would be forced to pay the money.
Normunds Freibergs, 40, contacted the victim on a website called Draugiem, the Latvian version of Facebook. He was told he would have work in a bakery for £8.20 an hour, and would having living costs of £85 a week. He saved £1,000 while living in Germany and sent between €600 and €800 to Freibergs, who was said to have asked for deposit.
