Our politicians call us lazy, the rich go on TV crying because they can't find people willing to work for minimal (or below) wage

This sounds like Germany. I think it's the norm in many countries by now. We already entered late stage capitalism, at this point it will only become worse.

Up to 20k per year you pay 23%, from 20k to 32k you pay 25% and from 32k to 50k per year you pay 35% income tax. If my research is correct, the main job emplayer keeps the tax. So the second employer should keep those 23% as well. As long as your colleague earns less than 50k from both of his jobs, he only has to pay 12% of the second job‘s yearly income as taxes out of his own pocket.

So mathematically it should not be possible to pay to be able to work.

Unless he’s "self employed“ but then he’s allowed that employer to fist him lubeless.

He uploaded an English dubbed explanation: youtube/zSEB4if2pJQ#.

He seems super unsavvy when it comes to legal/formal proceedings or authority in general (I don't mean that as a bad thing, we are all different, just that it can def affect how things go and escalate).
For one he got the notice in mid April & just continued to review (among other things?) such consoles this whole time (which makes me think now a trial is even more likely) & didn't prepare for anything (his channels, personal things, SD cards with all them ROMs, etc).
The panic & the whole 'why is this happening to me' anger makes more sense in view of this (not that is isn't warranted, from what I've seen it's def stupid anyone is doing anything about this guy in general).

But other shit-showy things happened too - they took his phone to make a copy & didn't return it for two months (it's unclear if they had a warrant for it or if he volunteered it - or indeed if Italian law recognises what a "personal device" is as EU has yet to compile a delegated act that will unify definitions & personal rights for such modern necessities for all members).
(~~If a cop takes my phone & doesn't promptly return it still locked I'm marring their mom & make them call me daddy before the trial starts. Then submit my phone in evidence with saucy newlywed pics.~~ I would be angy too if they took my phone, not to mention some poor data retrieval specialist getting a lifetime dose of ptsd.)

An Italian youtuber with some legal experience explains a bit more (in Italian): youtube./zSEB4if2pJQ#.

What I was thinking is that the complaint had to be specific, ie some lawyer (for a Japanese megacorp?) found an exact thing to complain about (eg in this exact second of this specific vid he admits this personal gain and shows that illegal thing, etc). Not just something vague.
They are looking at all his communication, finances, and content on his channels (but might be focusing only on one YT channel - this and the fact they mention an Anbernic device makes me think it's a very specific complaint).
I don't know that much about Italian law enforcement but I agree that is a bit sus they went after him at all - there might be more to the story that he either isn't saying or thinks (in your average "law ignorance" way) irrelevant but is very relevant. Idk.

CIA killed all the leftists in Italy to keep Italy out of the USSR. Don’t forget that.

To be fair, they (anbernic at least) sidestep the obvious minefields. No Mario, Pokemon, etc. A bunch of really sketchy and somewhat janky MAME ROMs, and a bunch of NES and others, on my 35xxV and 406h.

Yeah, he only showed what the police gave him (they are investigating him for promoting copyright infringement).
