Naples. False hiring of migrants: a deep-rooted system that exploits their vulnerability
A phenomenon widespread throughout Italy.
Investigations reveal a widespread system of false hiring of migrants in several Italian regions, including Puglia, Campania, Calabria and even in the North. Unscrupulous employers exploit the vulnerability of these people and their desire to obtain a residence permit to make illicit profits.
The methods of fraud appear to be similar in different areas of the country. Employers promise migrants the regularization of their status in exchange for sums of money, often large. By falsifying deeds and documents, they certify fictitious hiring and illegally collect the related state contributions.
A phenomenon that has been carefully monitored for some time.
