Reading the article... BusinessInsider's headline has little to do with the prosecutor's government's stated concerns:
> In probes through March and April, investigators found evidence that workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock, Reuters reported. They also tracked electricity-consumption data, which showed work was being carried out during nights and holidays, the report said.
> The subcontractors were Chinese-owned firms, prosecutors said. They said most of the workers were from China, with two living in the country illegally and another seven working without required documentation.
> The probe also said safety devices on gluing and brushing machines were removed so workers could operate them faster.
> The prosecution said violating labor rules was a common industry practice that luxury giants relied on for higher profits.
> "It's not something sporadic that concerns single production lots, but a generalized and consolidated manufacturing method," court documents about the decision to place Dior under administration said, according to Reuters.
> "The main problem is obviously people being mistreated: applying labor laws, so health and safety, hours, pay," Fabio Roia, the president of the Milan Court, told Reuters earlier this year. "But there is also another huge problem: the unfair competition that pushes law-abiding firms off the market."
Normally, I'd assumed that "famous brands used sub-contractors to do the dirty work" ==> "famous brand gets off with a slapped wrist". But the third subtitle:
> Judges placed Dior and Armani units under judicial administration for one year.
So hopefully not, this time?
