Prosecutors have launched an investigation into the Italian unit of Caddell Construction, accused of exploiting workers at the U.S. consulate construction site in Milan, according to judicial documents obtained by Reuters.
The accusations include recruiting workers from India through a New Delhi intermediary, subjecting them to exhausting shifts, inadequate pay, and threats of dismissal. Caddell Construction and the U.S. embassy in Rome could not be reached for comment.
The decree indicated the company employed a significant workforce, predominantly Indian, and imposed a court-appointed administrator to regularize workers and ensure compliance with labor laws.
