Key facts

• Location: Saronno
• Activity: auto repair shop
• Intervention: Local Police
• Workers found: two non-EU citizens
• Irregularities: employment, safety and authorizations
• Outcome: seizure and suspension of the business
• Reopening: safety restored and authorizations obtained

Yesterday afternoon, the Local Police intervened at an auto repair shop in Saronno, where the inspection revealed irregularities concerning employment, safety and authorizations. At the end of the checks, the officers seized the business and ordered its suspension until the required conditions were restored and the necessary authorizations obtained.

During the inspection inside the auto repair shop, two non-EU citizens were found working. The checks established that neither had a regular contractual relationship with the company. It also emerged that both lacked the required professional qualification for the work performed.

The irregularities identified

For one of the two workers, an irregular status in the national territory was also identified, as he was found not to have a residence permit. The check therefore concerned the relationship with the company, the qualification required for the work performed and, for one of the two people, the regularity of their stay in the national territory.

During the inspection, further irregularities relating to the business were also identified. The situation included both the administrative and safety aspects, along with the need to have the required authorizations. The overall situation led the officers to order the seizure of the auto repair shop and the suspension of its operations.

The measure therefore concerns the inspected business as a whole. The suspension was ordered until the required conditions are restored and the necessary authorizations obtained, as indicated at the end of the checks carried out by the Local Police.

Operational details

The inspection involved multiple units

The operation at the auto repair shop was carried out by officers from the Administrative and Commercial Police and the Environmental Unit, with the support of Rapid Response patrols. Multiple operational components of the Local Police were therefore involved in the same inspection of the business in Saronno.

The inspection concerned several aspects. On the one hand, the workers’ presence and their status with respect to the company were verified; on the other, issues emerged relating to professional qualifications, safety, administrative matters and authorizations. The source places the operation on all these levels, linking them to the situation of the auto repair shop.

From employment to the conditions of the business

The situation of the two non-EU citizens was ascertained inside the workshop, where both were found working. Neither had a regular contractual relationship with the company, and neither had the required professional qualification for the work performed. For one of the two, the inspection also revealed the absence of a residence permit and therefore an irregular status in the national territory.

Further irregularities relating to the business were added to these elements. The text distinguishes the employment aspect from the administrative aspect and safety, but presents them as parts of the same overall situation. The issue of the authorizations necessary to operate also falls within this framework.

The seizure and suspension were ordered at the end of this inspection. The checks therefore encompassed the situation of the two workers, professional qualifications, safety, the administrative aspect and the business’s authorizations. The measure is the consequence indicated by the source for the overall situation found.

Key points

Reopening linked to safety and authorizations

The follow-up to the intervention is defined by the suspension of the auto repair shop. Reopening will be possible only after the restoration of minimum safety conditions and the acquisition of the required authorizations. These are the conditions indicated to allow operations to resume after the seizure ordered by the officers.

Two conditions for resuming operations

The first step concerns safety. The source refers to minimum conditions to be restored for the reopening of the auto repair shop. The second concerns authorizations, which must be obtained before operations resume. The two requirements are presented together as a condition for resuming operations.

The provision keeps these aspects together. The restoration of the prescribed conditions, already mentioned in the suspension order, must be accompanied by obtaining the necessary authorizations. The text expressly links reopening to the completion of both steps.

The measure concerns the business inspected in Saronno and comes after irregularities were identified in labor, safety and administrative matters. For the next phase, the source indicates the process provided for by the measure: the suspension continues until the required conditions are restored and the authorizations are obtained.

The operational outcome of the intervention therefore remains defined by this sequence: inspection of the auto repair shop, seizure of the business, suspension, and reopening subject to the minimum safety conditions and required authorizations. The local police indicated these steps as necessary for operations to resume.
