Italian authorities are investigating the exploitation of 84 workers, including Romanians, with low wages and excessive overtime. The Financial Guard seized nearly €800,000 from an agricultural entrepreneur and his family. Workers faced poor living conditions and unjust deductions from their salaries for basic necessities. Nine Moroccan workers were allegedly defrauded for residency permit changes. The investigation highlights systemic labor exploitation in agriculture, known as caporalato, with accusations of underpayment and inadequate housing. The suspects maintain their presumption of innocence.
