Two Edmonton men have been charged with human trafficking after police say several foreign workers were forced to clock up to 90 hours a week without proper pay.
R-C-M-P say they started investigating last summer after receiving a complaint about exploitative working conditions at a gas station and motel owned by the men.
The motel is in the northwestern town of Fox Creek, while the gas station is in Calmar, southwest of Edmonton.
A 55-year-old man and his 26-year-old son face a total of five charges, and police say they're also looking into allegations of money laundering.
