A BBC investigation finds 16 people trafficked from the Czech Republic into the U.K. were forced to work in a McDonald's and a pitta bread factory.

Police say the gang used the stolen wages to buy luxury cars, jewellery and a property.

At least some of the victims couldn't speak English , with a member of the gang purportedly sitting in on their job interviews as an interpreter.

Six members of the Czech trafficking ring have been convicted in two trials that were delayed by the BBC .
