flag Amazon Italy pays €180M to settle tax and labor probe, ending use of third-party hires and adopting direct employment for 50K workers.

flag Amazon Italy has paid 180 million euros to settle a probe into alleged tax fraud and illegal labor practices, ending a government investigation launched in July 2024. flag The Milan-based unit faced accusations of using third-party cooperatives to hire workers, avoiding VAT and reducing social security payments. flag As part of a broader €1-billion settlement involving 33 companies, including DHL, FedEx, UPS, and Esselunga, Amazon agreed to discontinue a worker-monitoring system and directly employ over 50,000 delivery workers previously hired indirectly. flag The resolution, reached without an admission of guilt, marks a major step in Italy’s enforcement of labor and tax compliance among multinational logistics firms.
