'Like a slave' | |
Judge Peter Davies, passing sentence, described the victims' ordeal, which lasted for more than six months, as a life "characterised by fear". | |
One woman, who had travelled to the UK from Hungary a year before, said she had been "treated like a slave" whilst living with the Dardai family. | |
She was forced to eat with separate cutlery "so they would not catch any infection" and was only given bread, butter and salami to eat. | |
The court heard that elder son Ferenc Dardai had been the "prime-mover" and had beaten the women whilst collecting the £150 they made each day. | |
His father, mother and brother all carried out varying roles within the operation, with Dardai Snr driving the women to different towns and cities to meet clients. | |
The women had been forced to see up to five clients a day and worked "whenever the phone rang", the court heard. |
