The fiscal integrity of the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton supply chain effectively dissolved under forensic scrutiny during the 2024 and 2025 judicial audits. Prosecutors in Milan dismantled the facade of artisanal supremacy. They exposed a granular network of labor exploitation that directly subsidized the conglomerate's gross margins. This section examines the raw data extracted from the Tribunale di Milano filings and the Guardia di Finanza raids. We analyze the specific operational metrics of Manufactures Dior SRL and the unauthorized third-party workshops in Lombardy. The data proves a deliberate decoupling of retail pricing from manufacturing reality.
The investigation conducted by the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Labor centered on a specific discrepancy. The focus was the Model PO312YKY leather handbag. Retail listing for this unit stood at €2,600 in European boutiques. Judicial documents seized from the Pelican workshop in the province of Milan indicate a procurement cost of €53. This figure includes raw materials. It includes labor. It includes electricity. It includes overhead. The markup exceeds 4,800 percent. This margin is not attributable to marketing or intellectual property alone. It rests upon the suppression of manufacturing wages.
