The Giorgio Armani fashion house denied wrongdoing by GA Operations, which produces apparel, accessories and home decor for the Giorgio Armani Group brands. According to police, GA Operations hired a subcontractor which in turn hired an unauthorized Chinese subcontractor that employed workers illegally in unsanitary conditions without regard for workplace rules. Four Chinese factory owners face a separate criminal investigation for their roles.
