What aspect of the law did they break? I can't find any meaningful details in the articles. They all just say that Uber was banned for "unfair competition". The primary source of the English articles seems to be a Reuters wire with scant details. Anyone know more or have a link? (Including to something in Italian?)

Are Italian court transcripts generally available online? If this was in the US, I'd normally try to find and read the court docket.

The Italian law specifically states how a service where people pay to be transported should work, meaning how people are picked up, drivers certified, security in the cars and so on.

Not following the local laws that everyone else follows, makes it unfair.

My question is, what aspect of the law did they break? I'd like to know the details. The articles in English have few real details about what happened.

i guess you must have taxi license to transport people in car, in my country taxi cars must have also Surfside insurance, Uber cars have none of these so they have unfair advantage which is funny considering they are in peak hour more expensive than taxi with flat rate prices (only difference is day vs night)

You're not looking for details, you're asking for details. Did you try Google Italy or Google Translate to translate Italian articles into English?
