The Milan Finance Police, acting on
behalf of the Public Prosecutor's Office, on Thursday seized
more than 86 million euros from UPS Italia, a leading company in
the Italian logistics sector.
The urgent preventive seizure order was signed by Prosecutor
Paolo Storari as part of a new investigation centred on the
phenomenon of an alleged illegal supply of labour.
Several searches were also underway at UPS offices in Milan,
Como, Rome, and Reggio Emilia.
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has also requested an
injunction prohibiting UPS Italia, at the centre of a new
investigation into VAT fraud worth more than EUR 86 million,
from advertising services and goods for one year. In the
investigation, the three legal directors of the group's Italian
company, who succeeded each other from 2017 to 2022, are under
investigation.
The alleged fraud, according to the prosecutor's reconstruction,
took place by making labour contracts appear with external
companies, consortia or co-ops, when in reality it would have
been a matter of labour administration.
