Their employers, Alfredo Spiteri De Barro, Angelo Paulini and Edward Cachia were arraigned in court this morning and fined €1,200 each.
Inspectors Sandro Zarb and Nezren Grixti prosecuted.

Well done ! Can a Maths person come forward now and calculate for us how many hundreds of thoushands of inspections are needed to stop the hundreds of other illegally employed people roaming freely amongst us.
To the economists of the country who are arguing that cheap labour is needed to boost up our local economy this is not a big slap in the face,at least.
To the enforcing agency who go out and after a days work report back to the office with these results,well I say to them,we ain't all intellectuals and all that but please,please we aren't THAT stupid so could you please go a sell this somewhere else.
One wonders why "XARABANK" doesn't come up with a programme with this agenda,eh!!!
Yet the GRTU proposes a system that removed the ugly and unacceptable daily scenes at Marsa and elsewhere where migrants congregate to seek employment but can still be employed.
Serious countries take action even against employers of illegal immigrants. Maybe the GRTU should have a look at this article:

Let's look at this times article in 10 years time and reflect where Malta has gone wrong! (Too little too late!!!, huh)
So does this mean all these foreign pasterers and white washers,all the belly dancers one sees in bars swinging on metal pipes in Paceville and other places, have a permit to work here?
On what criteria?
Any bar in Sliema and St.Julians would have a non EU worker inside.
I say the authorities do not really know what the situation is.
Shame....
