358 unlicensed foreigners found working this year

The Employment and Training Corporation uncovered 358 unlicensed non-EU nationals working in Malta following a series of inspections carried out between January and September.

The information was revealed in Parliament by employment minister Evarist Bartolo in response to a parliamentary question by Opposition MP Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici. 

In response to separate PQs by Mifsud Bonnici, Bartolo said that 101 non-Maltese EU nationals, including dependants of EU nationals, were registered on the ETC's unemployment registry as of the end of September. This is a decline from the 133 people registered as of December 2014.
