This is the harrowing moment a Polish slave who was forced to work 20-hours-a-day making greeting cards was rescued by police living in a squalid loft.

Footage released by police shows the man cowering under a workman’s jacket in the corner of an attic after he was forced into a life of servitude by Edward Zielinski.

Zielinski, 42, was yesterday (Mon) jailed for 40 months after he admitted two charges of human trafficking at Nottingham Crown Court.
