The GNR detected precarious conditions in a seasonal agricultural workers' housing facility in Bombarral, during an inspection operation. 31 seasonal foreign workers were inspected as part of this operation.

The action took place in the district of Leiria and aimed to verify the working and housing conditions of these agricultural workers. The authorities identified situations that violate habitability and safety standards.

Seasonal foreign workers are frequently hired for seasonal agricultural activities in the region, with Bombarral being an area with a tradition in fruit and vegetable production. The inspection is part of a series of actions that the GNR has been carrying out to combat labor exploitation and ensure compliance with legislation.

The authorities did not disclose additional details about the specific violations found or any punitive measures applied to the employers.
