Rome. Operation “Game Over”

A seizure was carried out by the State Police aimed at the confiscation of assets and corporate assets worth approximately 4,5 million euros

This morning, in the provinces of Rome and Latina, the agents of the State Police of the Anti-Crime Division of the Rome Police Headquarters carried out a seizure order aimed at confiscation issued, pursuant to anti-mafia legislation, by the Court of Rome - Prevention Measures Section -, on a proposal formulated jointly by the Public Prosecutor of Rome and the Police Commissioner of Rome.  

The so-called operationGame over", conducted by the Anti-Crime Division, falls within the scope of the strategy to combat the accumulation of assets of illicit origin, which has the dual purpose of radically breaking up criminal organizations through the subtraction of wealth and of freeing the legal economy from infiltration of crime allowing entrepreneurs to operate under fair competition.

The ablation measure concerns assets and corporate structures, for a total value of 4,5 million euros, including properties and companies, referable to the heads of an association, active since 2012 in the area of ​​Rome (Torrino-Mezzocammino) up to Municipalities of Pomezia-Torvaianica, Ardea, Anzio-Nettuno and Aprilia (LT), and active in the retail and wholesale sale of narcotic substances such as cocaine, hashish and marijuana, recently arrested as part of the operation called “ALL IN”, conducted by the Flying Squad with the coordination of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Rome.

For these events, the main suspects, including the 3 recipients of today's seizure orders, are still detained.

On the basis of the in-depth economic and patrimonial investigations carried out by the specialists of the Anti-Crime Division of the Roman Police Headquarters, the Court found the elements to qualify the proposed candidates as socially dangerous subjects as recurring, since with their illicit conduct they would have accumulated huge profits, reinvesting them, in part, in companies operating betting shops in Pomezia and Ardea and in a vehicle resale in Rome, and, in part, in the acquisition of movable and real estate properties and insurance policies.

From these investigations, which spanned a period of over twenty years, it emerged that the 3 proposed companies, in the face of a marked disproportion between the overall "declared" income situation and the assets directly or indirectly attributable to them, made important investments securities, real estate and corporate shareholdings, financed through the proceeds deriving from the aforementioned illicit trafficking and led a high standard of living, absolutely incompatible with the small declared incomes.

Accepting the proposal formulated jointly by the Public Prosecutor and the Police Commissioner of Rome, the Court of Rome - Prevention Measures Section of Rome has therefore ordered the seizure of all the shares and the entire corporate assets of 4 corporate structures, of of which 2 operating in Pomezia and 1 in Ardea, in the bet collection sector, and 1 vehicle resale operating in Rome, as well as 4 properties - including a large villa with swimming pool - and 1 land, located in Rome , Pomezia and Aprilia; Furthermore, 3 vehicles, insurance and pawn policies and financial resources were seized, with a total estimated value of approximately 4,5 million euros.
