Roman Chinese food 'black workshop' was reported, bird shit can be seen everywhere, black workers were sent to the police
Rome police have cracked down on a Chinese food processing "black workshop".
Italian Fanpage and RomaToday reported that Rome police, after receiving a tip-off, jointly with the health department and other local food processing workshop launched a raid on 17, and found a series of violations.
Law enforcement officials found that the workshop employed four Chinese "illegal workers" and had poor sanitary conditions, requiring workers to process food in an environment where bird and rat droppings were widely seen.
Police eventually seized about 14 tonnes of food with potential safety risks, seized about €6,000 in cash, and charged three Chinese leaders, while the "black workshop" was shut down. Four Chinese workers were taken to a police station for further examination because they did not hold legal identification documents.
