Forced to hide
These persons did not have a work permit and were not registered with Social Security; the owner of the company also avoided informing the Spanish authorities that these persons were employees of his company. The judgement further states that the owner of the company warned the workers that if there were inspections they would have to hide in the premises.
"It is proven that the accused regularly or repeatedly employed persons who were in an irregular situation in Spain without a work permit, so that,due tothe need to remain b, they were obliged to accept the working conditions offered to them because they were in a situation of weakness as a result of the threat of expulsion from the territory, "the judgement states.

On theother hand, the Court of Bizkaia has acquitted the employer's daughter, since it has not been proven that she "participated in the hiring of illegal workers in her father's company" or "acted as manager of that company".
The judgement is not finaland may be appealed to the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country.
