Has anybody an idea how to translate high-profile in this context?

"employers who have not been diligent in the paper work for their international assignees could provide fodder for high-profile examples to catch the media's attention in the fight against unlawful labour"

"companies caught using illegal labour will face "high-profile prosecutions" under plans for a major Government crackdown on illegal migrants working in Britain."
