Four illegal workers were discovered by Immigration Enforcement officers
The owner of a Suffolk hand car wash has been banned as a company director for seven years after employing four illegal workers.
Vittorio Dragoti, 28, hired the workers from Romania at the Fiveways Car Wash on the Fiveways Roundabout near Barton Mills.
The workers were discovered when Immigration Enforcement officials visited the car wash in 2024.
Dave Magrath, Director of Investigation and Enforcement Services at the Insolvency Service, said:
Dragoti, of Queensway, Mildenhall, was the sole director of Vito’s Car Care Limited since March 2019.
Immigration Enforcement officials found the four Romanian men aged between 18 and 49 with no right to work in the UK when they visited the car wash in April last year.
Vito’s Car Care was fined £180,000 for the immigration breach. The fine currently remains unpaid.
Cheryl Daldry, the Home Office’s East of England Immigration Compliance and Enforcement lead, said:
The Secretary of State for Business and Trade accepted a disqualification undertaking from Dragoti, and his seven-year ban began on Thursday 15 May.
The disqualification prevents him from becoming involved in the promotion, formation or management of a company, without the permission of the court. It does not impact any businesses with similar names or locations.
