Jagpal Singh owned a dry cleaners but also trafficked women from China to work in brothels across Glasgow.
By Chris ClementsThe number of people being reported as potential victims of human trafficking in Scotland has risen to a record high, police have said.
Despite that public face of the community laundrette owner, police said his crimes followed the "similar format" and methodology found in trafficking for sexual exploitation. By the start of December, about 600 individuals were identified to authorities through the Home Office's National Referral Mechanism .
"It is predominantly labour exploitation, or exploitation for forced criminality, then followed by sexual exploitation," he said.Last month, Trafficking Awareness Raising Alliance told the BBC it had seen 93 referrals between April and September this year.Det Supt Capaldi said: "Some are hiding in plain sight.
He said: "You land on the ground, you don't know anybody, you don't have any means of income, and very quickly you are drawn into these groups who will exploit you to undertake criminal enterprises on their behalf."
