The Direzione Investigativa Antimafia, coordinated by the Prosecutor’s Office — Antimafia District Directorate in Reggio Calabria, headed by Mr. Giovanni BOMBARDIERI, is carrying out an order issued by the Section Preventive Measures at the Court in Reggio Calabria, aimed at the preventive confiscation of the assets – for an estimated value of approximately 1 million euros – linked to an individual, suspected of being a member of the BUDA-IMERTI family in Villa San Giovanni.
The person affected by the order of confiscation is de facto owner of a service company. He is suspected – without prejudice to any additional evaluations in merit to ascertain final liability – of being a member of and ‘ndrangheta family, associated to the powerful IMERTI-CONDELLO group operating in Villa San Giovanni (RC) and neighboring areas.
The investigations carried out have highlighted, so far, that the affected party allegedly acts as the longa manus of the father, who has recently (October 2020) been sentenced by the Appeal Court to 14 years and 8 months in prison within the criminal proceeding s.c. “SANSONE” on the grounds of being the second-in command of the BUDA-IMERTI cosca in Villa San Giovanni.
The investigation enhanced the results of past investigations and has allowed to trace his property and to identify, through well-structured checks and the review of documents, the assets directly or indirectly owned by him, the value of which is reportedly disproportionate in comparison with his income declared.
As a result, in February 2021 the Section Preventive Measures at the Court in Reggio Calabria ordered the seizure of the assets linked to the above-mentioned person and later, on the grounds of the circumstantial evidence gathered, ordered – without prejudice to any additional evaluations in merit – the preventive confiscation of: the company and its corporate assets; 2 real estate assets,5 plots of land, one of which was a building plot, in the province of Reggio Calabria; 1 real estate in the province of Milan as well as financial resources.
The Court in Reggio Calabria also placed the affected party under special personal surveillance of public security for 3 years and 6 months, with the obligation to stay in his place of residence.
The estimated value of the assets confiscated is of approximately 1 million euros.
The investigation carried out by the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia and effectively coordinated by the District Prosecutor’s Office in Reggio Calabria shows that the identification and tackling of illicitly gained assets and financial resources by mafia-type crime groups play a key role in curbing the pollution of the market and of the healthy business in order to restore the adequate levels of legality, transparency and public security
