Prosecutors request a six-month advertising ban for Italy's Tod's due to alleged labor violations.

Investigation into Tod's: Italian prosecutors have launched an investigation into luxury group Tod's and three executives for suspected labor abuses, marking a significant move against a fashion house for alleged exploitation practices.

Allegations of Complicity: The investigation claims that Tod's was aware of labor exploitation in subcontracted workshops, despite previous audits highlighting issues, and seeks a six-month ban on the company's advertising.

Judicial Proceedings: A hearing is scheduled for December 3, where Tod's representatives may defend themselves against the allegations, amidst ongoing legal battles regarding jurisdiction over the case.

Impact on Reputation: Tod's founder has expressed concerns that the investigation could damage the reputation of the "Made-in-Italy" label, as the company faces scrutiny similar to other high-end fashion brands.
