Italian authorities have imposed fines of over 35,000 euros for the exploitation of Romanian workers in grape harvesting, who were illegally paid 50 euros a day.

Following an operation by the Labor Inspectorate in Italy, Romanian workers were discovered to be exploited while harvesting vineyards, working without legal forms and receiving only 50 euros per day. Nine workers, including one Italian, were identified, and the vineyard owner was fined 35,100 euros. This action is part of a broader plan to combat illegal work in agriculture, aimed at protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair competition among employers. Inspections continue in other regions, where other cases of undeclared work have also been discovered.
