Zara should be closed and owners go to JAIL. It used slave labor (including minors) for YEARS in Brazil.
I've been to a 'camp' myself in 2011 just before the scandal broke. This is how they did it: a coyote paid by Zara would go to Bolivia and give some money to Bolivians that wanted a 'better life' in Brazil. They paid travel expenses and brought them illegally to Brazil. After they were here they would work for no salary - just for the promise that Zara would 'give the papers' to work legally. It never happened.
To mask the operation they opened a number of ghost companies in Brazil and hired those companies to manufacture their products. When hell broke loose, they stated that those companies were guilty, not them.
you should read about coke/pepsi wars in 3rd world countries.
when it comes to fashion, there are the companies that you hear they use bogus companies to exploit the poor world to save 0.05c/item, and the ones you just haven't yet heard they use bogus companies to exploit the poor world to save 0.05c/item.

I hope Zara burns in hell.
