A spokesman for the police says that they have taken note of the information that has emerged in Farah's new documentary.
"Specialists have launched an investigation and are currently evaluating available information," the spokesman told British media.
According to The Guardian, the couple who, according to Farah, forced him to work, may be questioned.
The couple is said to have told Farah that he would never see his family again if he told the truth.
- If I wanted food in my stomach I had to do household chores or take care of the children, she said that if I ever wanted to meet my family again I had to obey, he says in the documentary.
When Farah's physical education teacher heard about his history, he helped him apply for British citizenship, which he then received on July 25, 2000. The
UK Home Office, which is in charge of migration issues, has said Farah's revelations will not result in any retaliation against him.
Farah was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2017.
