Perth illegal worker trial abandoned again

The long-running trial of two Vietnamese brothers accused of running an illegal labour hire workforce at farms and market gardens in Perth has been abandoned.

Minh Canh Le and his younger brother Michael Le, who was born Nhi Van Le, have been on trial in the District Court of WA for more than seven months.

The pair went on trial for about four weeks earlier last year, charged with harbouring non-citizens at properties in Carabooda and Thornlie in 2013 and 2014, but it was abandoned after lengthy legal argument.

Their second trial was abandoned on Monday, when Judge Stephen Scott dismissed the jury.
