Giugliano Ice Plant Seized in Environmental Crime Crackdown

Municipal police conducted a night‑time raid on a 350‑square‑metre ice‑production facility in the ASI industrial zone of Giugliano, seizing the entire plant and its equipment. The operation is part of a coordinated effort by the Prefecture of Naples and the anti‑arson officer to combat environmental crimes linked to the so‑called “Terra dei Fuochi”.

Investigators found the plant producing ice sheets for fishmongers and the fisheries sector. Three people were present, including the company’s legal representative and a 24‑year‑old employee. The authorities noted the absence of documentation for the disposal of special waste and no authorization for discharging wastewater into the sewer system. Consequently, the legal representative was charged with illegal waste disposal and unauthorized industrial discharge, and the facility was placed under seizure. Additional resources for the operation were supplied by the Ministry through the Prefecture of Naples to the municipality of Giugliano.
