An illegal workshop in the heart of the Monti Picentini Regional Park: this was discovered by Carabinieri officers from the Montella station, along with the Bagnoli Irpino forestry unit, during a control operation aimed at combating environmental and urban planning crimes. The operation led to the seizure of the entire area and the filing of a report against a 37-year-old local man, already known to law enforcement, for illegal waste management, illegal wastewater discharge, illegal construction in a protected area, and destruction of natural beauty.
During the inspection, the military discovered a veritable open-air dump of hazardous materials: engines, batteries, tires, filters, and used oil piled up without any precautions, along with car parts of dubious origin.

The article discusses an important discovery, but I've noticed that the authorities are having trouble controlling protected areas. These abuses should be punished more severely to protect the environment and citizens.
