Early in the morning, the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia carried out an asset-related measure ordered by the Court in Bari – III Criminal Section acting as Preventive Court – against a multiple offender coming from the area of Foggia, upon the proposal made jointly by the Public Prosecutor in Foggia and the DIA Director.
The offender, who is now subject to special restrictions (ex art. 41 bis o.p.), is considered one of the most important members of the società foggiana, since he took part in the major mafia crimes which have affected the area of Foggia in the last 40 years, becoming its leading figure. In this respect, mention must be made of the valuable evidence coming out from the trial, which followed Operation Decima Azione and resulted in his final conviction to 10 years and 8 months of imprisonment for mafia-type association.
The activity carried out is the outcome of complex checks made on the subject and his family members, highlighting that the “affected party” had illicitly accumulated wealth and had invested in Foggia, San Giovanni Rotondo, Orta Nova and San Severo in the light of the remarkable disproportion between his declared income and the amount of wealth that was directly or indirectly linked to him.
The seizure, with an overall estimated value of about 2.5 million euros, involved 4 companies operating in the wholesale of different goods, in the retail sale of household and catering articles, in the management of bars as well as movable and immovable assets, including 4 buildings (2 flats, 1 garage, 1 bar-restaurant), motor vehicles, working machines and several financial relations and insurance policies.
Today’s asset-related preventive measure is part of the institutional activities aimed at attacking the proceeds which are illicitly gained and are directly or indirectly linked to criminal activities, so to protect the healthy domestic economy.
The final decision on confiscation may only be passed after the hearing with the defense counsel.
