  1. They would have been better off making counterfeit US dollars lol, would have been easier as well and the US prints so much of its own money that nobody would feel the difference

  2. How can you judge a professional grade counter fit note, verses a artistan note?
    The printers….only them…were manufacturing notes that do fit to the specifications of the Italian system and their equipment, inks, paper, and machines were in the entangled rush of legitimately being a member of the Italian financial system.

  3. Before the grand jury indictment of the printers:
    It was theft by the over zealous polizia to interrupt French banks money manufacturing. Theft by Italian authorities to interrupt the manufacturing of high quality fiat notes for Switzerland. Slander and liable by Italian commission officers to claim these are counterfeit bills, when they could withstand the scrutiny of daily withdrawals and deposits from ATMs, money scanning machines, and other various types of testing.

  4. The printers should be able to contribute to the EU economy, No? At the highest level of the world – the Olympics?These accusations only prove their qualifications as manufacturers, and should grant them, instead of immense punishment, a pathway to licensure for manufacturing for the numerous banks in Italy, Switzerland, and France.

  5. Look. Look at them. The Italian authorities, judging small businesses and their work spaces. Does it have to be a US Mint to be official? Does the crime here have the true rewards of deception? Only decent compensation per note- 10%. Sounds no different from the legal manufacturers( expert witnesses) and their costs of goods sold.

  6. Canon and Epson companies will invest in Naples in the next few years, they have understood that in Naples there are good craftsmen with experience in the sector.😂😂
    Rolex…
    Adidas
    Chanel
    Armani
    Nike…and…
    😂

  7. France should leave the African nations producing their precious metals that produce their currency …burkina faso in particular!!!

  8. Italy invaded the Kingdom of Naples in 1860 with the help of English Freemasonry, to destroy the Neapolitan people and reduce them to poverty…..they are right to rebel against a state that they do not feel as their own….exactly like the Scots with regards to Great Britain!
