MADRID — Spanish police said Sunday they had broken up a gang that operated three illegal tobacco factories employing Ukrainians who fled to escape Russia's invasion and were kept in "crammed" housing.
The factories, located in the northern wine-producing region of La Rioja, Seville in the south and Valencia in the east, used "advanced technology" and could produce 540,000 cigarette packs per day, it added. The Ukrainians lived in the factories "crammed into prefabricated modules, and without leaving the facilities so as not to be detected, working long hours," the statement said.
