Email sent to the contact address for Frigorifics Ferrer, saying: "We contacted you on July 4, 2023, regarding our ongoing investigation into China’s squid fishing and seafood processing industry. We’re emailing you now to bring additional findings to your attention, as they relate to your supply chain.
According to trade records seen by The Outlaw Ocean Project, Frigorifics Ferrer was the consignee for multiple shipments of seafood from Donggang Jinhui since December 2019. We have uncovered evidence that Donggang Jinhui has used North Korean labor after the December 2019 deadline for the repatriation of overseas North Korean workers required under United Nations Security Council sanctions. This evidence shows North Korean labor at Donggang Jinhui’s plant in Liaoning, China, as recently as 2023.
While we understand that you may not be aware of the above issues, we want to ask if Frigorifics Ferrer has any comment to make in response to this - or our previous - email?"
