Farmer sentenced in Italy for bleeding harvesters to death

A 39-year-old Italian farmer was sentenced to 16 years in prison for leaving an Indian agricultural worker, Satnam Singh, to bleed to death after a severe work accident. The incident occurred in summer 2024 in southern Rome, where Singh’s right arm was severed and his legs crushed by machinery. His employer did not take him to the hospital but instead drove him home, where he died two days later. The case has highlighted the poor working conditions and exploitation faced by migrant workers in Italy’s agriculture sector, with estimates suggesting around 230,000 people are illegally employed there, often earning as little as three to four euros per hour. The prosecution had initially requested a 22-year sentence, and appeals against the verdict remain possible.
