Three farms on the Etruscan Coast, in Maremma, between Livorno and Grosseto would have employed hundreds of workers, Italian and foreign, in black, for an average of 15/16 hours a day against a wage of 2.5 euros per hour , with holidays hardly granted and unpaid, and with threats of dismissal and verbal assaults.
These "oppressive working conditions, to which farm laborers were allegedly subjected", emerged from an investigation by the Finance Police.
Illicit intermediation and exploitation of labor are the crimes for which the 3 company managers, explains the Gdf in a note, have been deferred.
