Erwin and Krystian Markowski exploited the 'vulnerable' men by taking most of their wages after arranging work for them at the retailer's warehouse in Shirebrook, Derbyshire. Erwin, 38, of Cedar Road, Nottingham, and Krystian, 35, of Harcourt Road, Nottingham, targeted victims in Poland and offered them the chance to travel to the UK. Erwin Markowski, left, and his brother Krystian, right, recruited vulnerable men from Poland to work in Sports Direct's warehouse in Shirebrook and took one third of their wages The victims were sent to work at the Sports Direct warehouse in Shirebrook, Derbyshire The brothers told the victims they would arrange work and accommodation, but would confiscate travel documents and control their bank accounts, police said.

Officers said the case came to light when one of the victims visited the front counter at Radford Road police station in Nottingham last January. He told officers he was living with around ten other men and being made to work for Sports Direct and his finances were being controlled by Erwin and Krystian Markowski. Police said the victims were paid about a third of their salary. The scam came to light after one of the victims approached police in Nottingham last year The brothers each admitted to facilitating the transport of a person to the UK for exploitation and fraud by false representation at a previous hearing. They were both jailed for six years at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday. Speaking after the case, Detective Constable Sarah Fearn said: 'The Markowski brothers systematically took advantage of vulnerable people that they purposely brought into Nottingham for their own personal gain. 'They financially benefited from the hard work of others and in return the victims were left feeling used, distressed and manipulated.

Modern slavery will not be tolerated within Nottinghamshire. 'The sentence today was a victory for the victims and also shows a warning to those acting in a similar manner.' A spokesman for Sports Direct said: 'We welcome the conviction of these two individuals, who were brought to justice after being reported to police by the Transline agency and Sports Direct in February 2016. 'It sends a clear message that we will not tolerate these kinds of behaviour.'

After initially refusing to appear before the Business, Innovation and Skills committee, his eventual appearance had so many astonishing moments it's hart to select just a few. There was the admission that workers were paid less than the minimum wage. And the revelation that staff got their wages on pre-paid debit cards, which they were then charged £10 to use. And there was the moment he finally admitted he wasn't Santa Clause.

Here's our coverage of the whole session as it happened. And here's the seven most astonishing moments from Mike Ashley's appearance at the BIS committee.wingback chair online india Commenting on his black and white neckwear, committee chair Iain Wright said: "That looks suspiciously like a Newcastle United tie."buy hanging egg chair melbourne Mr Ashley did not respond.small accent chair target Mr Ashley said he wouldn't like the Sports Direct warehouse conditions for his own children.cheap office chair edmonton He was asked about the practice of docking workers 15 minutes pay for being just a minute late.buy plastic chairs singapore

The billionaire said it wasn't "fair" and he wouldn't be "happy" with it for his kids.

One unimpressed committee member responded he didn’t think a woman giving birth in a toilet was a “hasty” call-out.

Mike Ashley is not Santa Claus, he has admitted. Asked by the committee whether he was a “kind person”, he said: “I would say I am kind to the right people, to the genuine people. And that’s not just waffly stuff. But he said he had to strike a balancing act, adding: "I'm not Father Christmas, I'm not sitting there saying I'm going to make the world wonderful". Mike Ashley has admitted the company he created may have outgrown him - like having to steer an oil tanker. Committee chair Iain Wright said: “Do you think it [Sports Direct] may have outgrown your ability to manage it?”. Mr Ashley replied “Possibly a long time ago.” He added: ”I can accept the criticism of some things you have said to me today leads me to believe it possibly has out grown me.” “I can only do my best and my best might no be good enough,” he said. Mr Ashley hit out at the committee for ‘twisting his words’. Asked about why he hadn't provided more permanent contracts to his work force, he lost his temper.
