An advocate for the worker accusing Green MP Darleen Tana's husband of migrant exploitation claims the MP knew what was happening.
Tana's been stood down after the allegations emerged at E Cycles NZ, a business owned by her husband.
Tana says she welcomes an investigation and intends to cooperate fully.
Advocate Nathan Santesso told Heather du Plessis-Allan he's sure Tana was aware of the situation.
“Because he approached her and asked her to try and help him. She just said ‘I’m not the director, I’m not involved in this, I’ve got nothing to do with this.”
