Sting is concerned about illegal migrant workers on an estate in Italy.

Стинг обеспокоен незаконными мигрантскими работниками на имении в Италии.

Singer Sting has said he is "saddened and distressed" by reports that illegal migrants have been found on his luxury Italian estate. The 350-hectare (865-acre) site, which grows olive trees, grapes and other fruit, is the subject of a police investigation probing illegal migrant labor. According to the Daily Telegraph, the workers, who were not granted settlement rights in Italy, were allegedly hired by bosses who rented them through the company to work on Tuscan estates, which includes Sting's estate.

Italian prosecutors believe the owners of the estates were unaware of the illegal origins of the labor supplied by the company. The former member of the band "The Police" said he was "saddened and distressed to learn that an independent company that leases some fields may be involved in questionable labor practices. "

Sting also noted that he expects the case to be prosecuted under Italian law. He said he hoped that having his name in Italian headlines would bring attention to unacceptable labor practices in the wine industry.

According to prosecutor Antonio Sangermano, about 30 to 40 workers with pending asylum claims were hired at the star's estate last year.

According to Telegraoh, 11 people are being investigated on a number of charges including commercial fraud, profiting from illegal labor and filing false financial documents.

Sangermano said, "Sting had no knowledge of this and, according to our records, was not even in Italy at the time. He is not the subject of our investigation. However, we are investigating who exactly hired these workers on the estate. "

Sting has owned the estate, near the town of Filigne Valdarno near Florence, for more than 16 years. The farm store sells everything produced or grown on the estate, including oil from selected olives, vegetables, fruit, honey and local salami. One of his red wines, named Sister Moon after one of his songs, was recognized as one of this year's top 100 Italian wines.
