Milan prosecutors on Monday informed
10 people that they have concluded an investigation into
allegedly gangmastering and tax felonies regarding the Uber Eats
food-delivery service.
Such notification is usually given before prosecutors make
indictment requests.
The case led a Milan court in May to place in temporary
receivership Uber Italy for the alleged exploitation of delivery
riders by Uber Eats.
The company denies exploiting the riders.
The people who are under investigation include Uber Italy
Manager Gloria Bresciani.
The riders were allegedly paid just three euros per delivery and
"robbed" of their tips, according to the notification.
The notification included the transcription of a wiretap in
which Bresciani allegedly said to an employee: "never again say
that 'we have created a system for desperate people' in front of
someone from outside. Even if you think it, you don't air your
dirty laundry in public".
