Summary
Nine suspected illegal fishing operators and labor exploiters were arrested across Scotland in a major crackdown targeting modern slavery at sea. Officers boarded 34 boats from July 26–30, seizing suspects from Sri Lanka and the Philippines—five and four respectively—with arrests made in Fraserburgh and Mallaig. The operation, led by Police Scotland and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, revealed ties to a rogue fleet operator and resulted in civil penalty notices that could impose up to £60,000 per worker for employers who failed basic immigration checks. This is part of a UK-wide enforcement surge aimed at protecting vulnerable workers and cracking down on illegal labor practices.
