Frozen investments of the mafia in the north: anti-mafia seizure of assets, worth over one million euros

The Palermo State Police carried out a decree in Milan issued by the Prevention Measures Section of the Court of Palermo against a Palermo, to whom, on the proposal of the Palermo Police Chief, a measure of patrimonial prevention was ordered for the seizure for the purposes of confiscation of assets for a total estimated value of over 1 million.

To proceed the agents of the Prevention Measures Office of the Anti-Crime Division of the Palermo Police Headquarters who, with the collaboration of the colleagues of the Milan Police Headquarters, carried out the seizure of the following assets attributable to man:

  • Commercial company active in the jewelery sector, including the relevant business complex, based in Milan, in the so-called "fashion quadrilateral", formally headed to the cohabitant, but in fact attributable to man.

The value of the movable assets present at the time of the seizure, consisting of jewels and precious objects, is still being quantified by experts appointed for this purpose.

  • Nr.3 real estate located in Milan, in a residential area.
  • Nr.6 financial reports totaling approximately 50.000 euros.

The danger of the subject, regent of the Acquasanta Palermo mafia family, is already confirmed in the application to him in the 2010 of the measure of the Special Public Security Surveillance with Stay Obligation in the municipality of Milan, to which he is currently subjected.

The man, in fact, is already definitively condemned for the crime referred to in art. 416 bis cp for having performed the functions of regent of the mafia family of Acquasanta, on whose behalf he managed the nerve center of the collection of lace.

On the basis of its persistent social dangerousness, patrimonial assessments were carried out by the agents of the Anti-Crime Division of the Palermo Police Headquarters against its family nucleus, which allowed to highlight a considerable economic disproportion between the declared incomes, well below the ordinary maintenance costs of a family and the capital investments made.

In the light of these investigations, it was possible to demonstrate how these assets, although fictitiously registered were in reality related to man and could evidently be considered the result of the reuse of illicitly accumulated wealth.
