(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 23 - Finance police on Tuesday carried out
the preventive seizure of around 121 millions euros from the
Italian branch of Amazon in relation to probe by Milan
prosecutors into alleged tax fraud and worker exploitation.
The case regards the allegedly use of so-called 'labour
reservoirs', a system under which large companies illegally
subcontract out logistics services to other firms and
cooperatives in order to get labour at rock-bottom rates and pay
less tax.
Milan prosecutors have also opened similar investigations into
DHL, GLS, Uber, Lidl, BRT, Geodis, Esselunga, Securitalia, UPS,
GS of the Carrefour group and GXO, the latter of which had 84
million euros seized from it on July 2. (ANSA).
