DSI to probe berrypicking fiasco in Finland

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) will take over a case in which workers from the Northeast were duped by a promise of berry-picking jobs in Sweden and Finland - then left unpaid and unaided abroad.

Some workers suffered extreme stress to the point of suicide, while some struggled just to gather money to return home.
Former berry-pickers Winai Kaewkebkham, from Khon Kaen, and Sudjai Thongsri, from Chaiyaphum, Tuesday urged Pol Lt-Col Kornwat Panprapakorn, the chief DSI investigator for the Northeast, to help after their employers failed to pay them.
