Dismantled an organization that laundered money from illegal activities thanks to complacent professionals.
At dawn today, Thursday, January 11th, a joint operation by the Finance Police and the Carabinieri was carried out, as reported by the website radioalfa.fm. They handed out 25 precautionary measures and seized approximately 8.4 million euros, ordered by the judge of Naples upon the request of the DDA.
In the Salerno area, the suspects reside in Battipaglia. The investigations revealed that the criminal group, including individuals linked to organized crime, had invested the dirty money derived from tax fraud and counterfeiting in trendy clothing, catering, the sale of counterfeit watches, and other economic sectors. Among the various investments that emerged was also the acquisition of half of the capital of a clinic for the treatment of autism, invested with 3 million euros.
The crimes charged include criminal association, receiving stolen goods, illegal possession and carrying of firearms in public places, as well as attempted extortion and attempted murder aggravated by mafia methods.
Three arrests have been made, nine individuals have been placed under house arrest, and thirteen have been ordered to report to the police.
From the investigations, it has also emerged that some of the recipients of the measures were transporting illegal firearms with erased serial numbers.
