Reggio, crackdown on illicit assets strengthened: memorandum signed between the Attorney General’s Office and the Financial Police

A new step forward in the fight against illicit assets comes from Reggio Calabria, where an important operational memorandum was signed between the General Prosecutor’s Office and the Financial Police. The agreement bears the signature of the Attorney General of the Court of Appeal, Gerardo Dominijanniand of the Calabria Regional Commander of the Fiamme Gialle, Gianluigi D’Alfonso.

The agreement aims to make investigative activities aimed at confiscating illegally accumulated assets more effective and rapid. In particular, the focus is on patrimonial measures linked to final sentences and the provisions of the executing judge, with the aim of taking away from the condemned people the wealth deriving from illicit activities or from their reuse. Among the key points of the memorandum, there is also the strengthening of procedures that allow assets disproportionate to the declared income to be targeted, as well as the application of confiscation “by equivalent”, in the cases provided for by law.

The agreement also provides for the establishment of a permanent technical table between magistrates and Financial Policewith periodic meetings dedicated to analysis and operational comparison. There will be no shortage of specific training courses to further refine investigative techniques in a particularly delicate sector.

The protocol is part of a broader strategy to combat economic and organized crime, in an area where criminal gangs continue to reinvest illicit proceeds in the economic fabric, altering its balance through entrepreneurial activities and financial operations.

In this context, the results already achieved are significant: in 2025 alone, the departments of the Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza of Reggio Calabria confiscated assets for over 580 million euros, including money, properties, companies and financial instruments.
