Two men have been arrested as part of an investigation into human trafficking and labour exploitation.

Gardaí in Donegal this morning arrested two men, aged 28 and 35, for organised crime related offences. Both men arrested are being questioned at Garda Stations in the county.

Gardaí, with international colleagues, are investigating the alleged trafficking of people into Ireland for the purpose of labour exploitation. The operation involves a Joint Investigation Team which has been established with Law Enforcement in Latvia, and law enforcement activity is also being coordinated in Latvia today.

Europol Officers were also present in Donegal during this morning's operation.

An Garda Síochána continues to appeal to anyone who may be the victim of human trafficking or labour exploitation to contact them.
