Authorities in Capaccio Paestum conducted an operation against environmental crimes at a large livestock farm in the Spinazzo area. Supported by the N.O.E.T.A.A. association and WWF Italia, police targeted a 250,000 square meter property used for cattle and buffalo milk production.

Investigations revealed several violations, including the unauthorized discharge of livestock waste into an adjacent canal via illegal piping. Inspections involving drones and veterinary expertise from the local ASL also identified severe hygienic deficiencies and animal welfare issues, including a decomposing animal carcass left in the open. These findings led to criminal charges for illegal waste disposal.
