Italy Prosecutors Put Delivery Hero Unit Under Judicial Control

Italian prosecutors have placed Delivery Hero SE’s Italian food-delivery unit under judicial control as part of a criminal investigation into alleged labor exploitation.

The measure provides for a court-appointed administrator to oversee the operations of Milan-based Foodinho Srl, the Italian operator of Glovo’s delivery business, according to a court order seen by Bloomberg News. Delivery Hero agreed to acquire a majority stake in Spanish startup Glovo at the end of 2021.
