INTERPOL Purple Notice - Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery in the Fisheries Sector

This INTERPOL notice shares with all fisheries agencies practices being employed by fishers to deceptively recruit and transport workers onto vessels or into fish processing factories or aquaculture sites for the purpose of labour exploitation. INTERPOL encourages all administrations to circulate this purple notice to your country’s law enforcement bodies to alert them about this modus operandi and to allow them to take whatever preventive and precautionary measures they deem necessary
