Jung Won Choi: Choi

Sushi Restaurants Dept: Jung Won Choi, who operated two sushi restaurants including Kenko Sushi on Corydon Avenue had been convicted in 2010 of illegally employing immigrants from Korea, according to CBC. But Choi's lawyer, Ken Zaifman, stressed that Choi's workers were not mistreated and a former Winnipeg restaurant owner has been ordered to pay $12,000 in donations to two local charities for employing immigrants without proper work permits. He admitted to illegally employing six people from 2008-2009. Court also found Jung was paying the workers below minimum Canadian wages. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
