American Consulate in Milan, US company pays workers 30 million in compensation
Dopo l’inchiesta per caporalato della procura, la Caddell accetta un accordo con l’amministratore giudiziario
The Italian prosecutor's office in Milan has reached an agreement with construction company Caddell and its judicial administrator to pay 30 million euros in compensation to workers who were exploited at a construction site in Milan. The workers, mostly from India, were managed by a Turkish intermediary and subjected to fictitious salaries, with deductions for food, accommodation, and repayment to the labor contractor.
Around 450 workers will receive an average of 50,000 euros each, with some receiving up to 90,000 euros, and those who were fired before the investigation will also receive compensation. The agreement, facilitated by the prosecutor Paolo Storari and the Carabinieri, is the largest of its kind in Italy and marks a significant step towards resolving the case.
