05 May 2021 --- Environmental groups are calling for what they say is an overdue legal resolution on an international corruption scandal in which an Italian waste management company had been illegally shipping municipal waste overseas to Tunisia. The case was exposed over six months ago by Tunisian investigative journalists. According to EU and international law, Italy should have taken back the waste months ago but has failed to act. Campaigners say the case exemplifies endemic issues in global waste management and highlights how much of the world’s pollution is rooted in corruption.
