LONDON, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Tuesday's conviction of nine members of the same family for modern slavery in Britain is just the tip of an iceberg as more information is being pieced together to reveal what is hiding in dark corners behind the gleaming facades of the earliest industrialized country.


The nine people were found guilty for keeping workers in sub-human conditions in East England. One victim sandalias ecco baratas , whose ordeal spanned more than 25 years, was made to dig his own grave. They were jailed to a total of 79 years.
