Italian authorities search Amazon and KPMG over alleged tax evasion from 2019 to 2024.

Italian financial police have searched Amazon’s Milan offices, homes of seven managers, and KPMG’s offices in a probe over potential tax evasion. Authorities are investigating whether Amazon operated an undisclosed permanent establishment in Italy from 2019 to 2024, possibly evading taxes by restructuring employee contracts. The investigation also examines customs and tax fraud related to Chinese imports, with seized data including deleted emails. This follows a prior 510 million euro settlement and ongoing scrutiny of Amazon’s tax practices.
