Deliveroo—Milan judge placed Deliveroo's Italian unit under judicial supervision over systemic rider underpayment
A Milan preliminary investigations judge (GIP) upheld a prosecutor's request to place Deliveroo's Italian subsidiary under judicial administration, finding that roughly 20,000 riders were paid around €3-4 per delivery (about €1,000/month) while working 10-17 hours a day, seven days a week - wages prosecutors said left riders up to 90% below the poverty line and violated the Italian Constitution's guarantee of a dignified wage. A judicial administrator was appointed to regularize riders' status. Deliveroo said it believes its operations are fully compliant with Italian law. The order followed a similar action against Glovo's Italian unit Foodinho weeks earlier.
