Italian police visit fashion firms including Cucinelli and Moncler in labour probe

MILAN, July 16 (Reuters) - Italian police have visited the headquarters of nine high-end fashion firms, demanding documents on governance and supply-chain controls as part of an investigation into alleged exploitation of workers at subcontractors, a judicial document shows.

The brands that received the orders are Brunello Cucinelli BCU.MI, Moncler MONC.MI, Chanel, Bulgari, Jacob Cohen Company spa, Etro, Stefano Ricci, Goyard Italie and Owenscorp Italia.

None of the nine companies is under investigation, and prosecutors have not sought court-appointed administration for any of them, according to the order reviewed by Reuters.
