Qld men in court over 'slave business'

Two men have appeared in a Brisbane court over allegations they conducted a slavery business in Queensland.

Two men charged with slavery offences have been remanded in custody after appearing in a Brisbane court.

Yu-Hao Huang, 26, and his co-accused Bo-Syun Chen, 28, were arrested this month and charged with conducting a business involving servitude - a commonwealth offence carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars.

However no details of their alleged crimes were read out during a brief appearance in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.

Duty lawyer Kate McArthur made no application for bail and the matter was adjourned until October 22.
