In recent days, the Guardia di Finanza of Catanzaro has executed a decree issued by the Court of the capital-Section Prevention Measures-with which the confiscation of three companies was ordered, with the relative company assets, numerous motor vehicles, three properties and different current accounts, attributable to a person considered contiguous to the “foransano-abbruzzese” gang operating in the Sibaritide.
The provision, of a precautionary nature, was adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree 159/2011 (Anti-Mafia Code) against a qualified individual as subject to “high social danger”, as a suspect of crimes falling within those provided for by article 51, paragraph 3-bis, of the criminal procedure code.
The activity stems from complex economic-patrimonial investigations coordinated by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Catanzaro and carried out by the Gico of the economic-financial police unit. The checks concerned the income position of the recipient and family members, bringing out an evident disproportion between the assets owned and the income declared. The confiscated assets had already been subject to preventive seizure in October 2024.
The man, already involved in important judicial investigations – called “Gentleman II”, “Kossa” and “Athena” – is accused in various capacities of an association aimed at international drug trafficking, scam against the state and private violence, crimes aggravated by the mafia facility and committed between 2017 and 2023.
The three proceedings are still ongoing: “Gentleman II” and “Athena” are found in the abbreviated judgment phase before the Gup of Catanzaro, while “Kossa” hangs on appeal after a sentence at first instance.
