Xinhua Times on November 25, according to the European “Chinatown” compiled by PRATO News Network on November 22, 2014: Municipal police have severely cracked down on illegal disposal of industrial waste through multiple channels. I thought I would be able to escape safely, but in recent months, the municipal police environmental department has increasingly cracked down on illegal garbage disposal in the MACROLOTTI industrial area. Recently, the police intercepted a truck near MACROLOTTO ZERO near VIA PUCCINI. Carrying 47 garbage bags containing textile waste, they were piled in the carriage.
After being stopped for inspection, it was discovered that the driver, a 47-year-old Chinese, lacked the qualifications to transport garbage. If they had not been stopped, they would have probably been thrown into the trash cans on the roadside and stuffed until other citizens could not use them. The car and rubbish were impounded and the man is likely to face a prison sentence of six months to two years or a fine of between €2,600 and €26,000.
At VIA VESPUCCI, the camera captured two Chinese people, a man and a woman, throwing some cardboard boxes containing waste onto the sidewalk (next to the trash can). After investigation, it was found that it belonged to a knitting factory (cotton wool, sleeve type) located in the SOCCORSO area, and the same fabric as the waste found in the abandoned box was being processed there.
In addition, this company has never paid garbage disposal fees since it started operating; therefore, measures will be taken to recover the tax that was avoided.
