French construction group Vinci on Tuesday denied a claim from a campaign group over alleged forced labor involving migrant workers on building projects tied to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Sherpa NGO said in a statement it had a submitted a claim in a French court against Vinci Construction Grand Projects and the managers of the Qatari unit QDVC for "forced labor" and "keeping someone in servitude". The group respects local labor laws and fundamental rights in Qatar as well as in all the countries where it operates," a Vinci spokesman told Reuters. Laetitia Liebert, Head of the Sherpa NGO, told Le Parisien in a interview that one of the NGO's lawyers traveled to Qatar and found that migrants worked 66 hours a week and had their passports confiscated.
