Illegal immigrants have been found working at Stegra AB’s planned green steel plant in northern Sweden, adding yet more pressure on a company that’s racing to secure extra funds.
The Swedish police discovered workers without permits and no right to work in the country during a raid at the plant on Wednesday. As many as 19 illegal workers were found and are now at risk of deportation, according to a police statement.
