Two men accused of trafficking women into forced labour will face trial before the High Criminal Court on 1 July, the Public Prosecution said.
The case centres on allegations made by two women, who told prosecutors they were forced to work long hours without pay, in roles that differed from those initially agreed.
They said the men locked them inside and restricted their movements.
The Anti-Trafficking Prosecution began inquiries immediately after the complaint was lodged.
The women were moved to a state shelter overseen by the National Committee to Combat Trafficking in Persons, where they gave statements.
Others involved in the case were also interviewed, and the suspects were questioned under caution.
Both were ordered to remain in custody while investigations continued.
Police were tasked with examining the claims.
Their findings backed up the women’s account, and the officer leading the case gave evidence to that effect.
