The Naples Public Prosecutor's Office has issued a notice concluding a preliminary investigation to three people over an alleged scheme to facilitate the irregular entry and residence of 15 foreign women in Italy, according to Metropolis Web.

The three are a 49-year-old entrepreneur from Castellammare di Stabia, a 44-year-old lawyer from Castellammare di Stabia, and a 67-year-old lawyer from Sant'Anastasia who resides in Naples. Metropolis Web did not publish their names.

According to the report, the alleged operational base was in the Santa Caterina district of Castellammare di Stabia. The alleged scheme involved purported employment arrangements and allegedly falsified certificates.

Investigators allege 15 applications for work permits were submitted through the Prefecture of Naples's immigration portal during the 2025 "decreto flussi" process. According to the report, 11 applications were entered using the SPID credentials of the 44-year-old lawyer and four using those of the 67-year-old lawyer.

The reported beneficiaries were women from India, Morocco and Tunisia, with proposed jobs including construction work and cleaning.

The allegations concern a concluded preliminary investigation. No final court finding or conviction has been reported.
