ROBERT DE NIRO has come under fire from the US Department Of Labor for having allegedly cheated his restaurant workers out of $328,000 in pay.
Employment officials claim more than 100 staff at exclusive Japanese eatery Nobu, in New York City, have seen their overtime pay wrongly slashed and the restaurant has been ordered to make up the huge shortfall.
De Niro, who is thought to earn around $20 million a movie, co-owns the restaurant with Japanese chef NOBUYUKI MATSUHISA.
