The trial for the death of Satnam Singh, a 31-year-old farmworker, began in Latina, Italy.

Singh tragically died in June 2024 after being injured by agricultural machinery.

His employer, Antonello Lovato, faces charges of voluntary manslaughter for allegedly failing to provide timely medical assistance.

Witnesses and activists, including the CGIL union, gathered outside the courthouse, demanding justice and systemic change to prevent such tragedies.

Latina’s mayor, Matilde Celentano, emphasized the need to combat illegal labor practices, which tarnish the reputation of ethical businesses.

The case has sparked a broader conversation about workers' rights and the exploitation of migrant labor in agriculture.
