After the coup in Myanmar, the European Union sanctioned several Burmese state-owned companies that had fallen back into the hands of the violent military junta. From the nautical sector to fine jewelry: Coup de luxe in Burma shows how refined teak from Burma and extremely precious rubies from Mogok continue to arrive in Italy directly or indirectly via third countries such as China and Thailand. All this enriching the pockets of Made in Italy luxury companies at the expense of the Burmese people. The investigation is led by Francesco Boscarol, Ludovica Iacovacci, Priscilla Ruggiero, tutor Maria Cuffaro.
