Italian prosecutors have notified Amazon's European division and two directors about potential legal action for selling products from China without proper VAT and customs duties. Investigators claim over 1.5 million products were sold in Italy without fulfilling tax obligations, with unpaid VAT estimated at over €3.52 million. The investigation, which became public in November 2025, revealed that Amazon allegedly failed to implement adequate measures to prevent customs violations. Amazon denies the allegations, asserting compliance with local laws and emphasizing its significant investment in Italy. The notification does not automatically lead to prosecution, as the accused can present their defense before any legal action is taken.
