Fashion designer Giorgio Armani has been caught up in an exploitation investigation after one of it's factories after one of it's subcontractors hired an unauthorised Chinese subcontractor who employed people that were not able to legally work.
Giorgio Armani has denied wrongdoing by GA OperationsGiorgio Armani bags and accessories were produced by 'exploited' Chinese workers near Milan, Italian Police said today.
However, Giorgio Armani has denied wrongdoing by GA Operations, which produces apparel, accessories and furnishings for the Giorgio Armani Group brands. Police said it was part of a system of caporalato, the illegal intermediation and exploitation of workers most often associated with the agricultural sector.GA Operations, meanwhile, is not under investigation, but has been placed under judicial administration for up to a year as part of a procedure to ensure legal operations, said Lieutenant Colonel Loris Baldassarre, of the Carabinieri.
In a statement, Italian Police said: 'The system allows for maximising profits the Chinese factory actually produces the products, lowering labour costs by resorting to off-the-books and illegal workers.' Cooking pots were piled in a filthy bathroom alongside a broken sink and a pot with water containing what appears to be eel.
In the more recent case, police investigated four illegally operating factories with unhealthy working conditions and a series of safety violations, including illegal dormitories with 'sanitary and hygienic conditions below the ethical minimum'.
