Tesco has become embroiled in a row over the use of foreign students at its dotcom facility in Croydon, south London.
According to a report in The Daily Telegraph, authorities found students of almost a dozen nationalities working longer hours than their visas allowed. The UK Border Agency arrested 20 of the students for alleged breaches of their visa terms which restricted their working hours.
The paper said at least seven of these have now been deported, adding that Tesco faces a fine of up to £200,000 if found guilty.
Tesco said it was “co-operating fully” with the UKBA, adding it had tightened its procedures.
