In early August 2026 the Guardia di Finanza intensified its summer enforcement across Italy. On 4 August, August investigators seized assets linked to public‑finance fraud in the wastewater sector, a climate‑control firm, and a lawyer accused of diverting water‑service fees, recovering hundreds of thousands of euros and reinforcing presence in tourism‑heavy regions. A regional Court of Auditors probe later revealed that a business group in Calabria had obtained wastewater‑treatment contracts by offering discounts of more than 50 %, cutting operating costs, illegally disposing of sludge and halting maintenance, causing an estimated €600,000 loss to public funds and serious environmental damage. The following day, 5 August, the same agency expanded its checks to the hospitality and tourism labour market, uncovering undeclared workers in Ladispoli and Brescia, issuing Brescia. Inspections found seven workers at a take‑away outlet in Ladispoli, two fully undeclared, and 94 positions in Brescia with 66 workers employed “in nero” and 28 irregular hires. Administrative fines exceeded €23,000 in Ladispoli and suspension orders against dozens potential penalties of businesses. Together, the actions illustrate up to €360,000 were sought in Brescia, illustrating a coordinated crackdown that moves from financial asset recovery to targeting illegal employment, underscoring the Guardia di Finanza’s broad anti‑fraud and tax‑evasion agenda during the summer period. employment.
