An entrepreneur, originally from the province of Caserta and resident in Grosseto for years, ended up in the crosshairs of the DDA for having employed in his company money coming from a man, also from Caserta, believed to be close to the Casalesi clan.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office – Anti-Mafia District Directorate of Florence, using military personnel from the Provincial Commands of the Guardia di Finanza of Florence and Vicenza, is executing the Decree of direct preventive seizure, and also for equivalent, issued by the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of the Court of the Tuscan capital, against 10 suspects and a company operating in the construction sector with headquarters in Grosseto, relating to financial availability in current accounts and real estate up to the occurrence of €782,191.27, for the crimes of “use of money and benefits of illicit origin”, “fraudulent bankruptcy”, as well as for the discipline of the “administered liability of entities”.
The evidence collected during the meticulous investigative activity, carried out by the PEF Florence – GICO Unit and the PEF Vicenza Unit with the collaboration of the Technical Means Section of the SCICO of Rome, made it possible to identify an entrepreneur originally from the province of Caserta, who had been living in the Grosseto area for years, who allegedly reinvested in the aforementioned company in 2017 and 2018 illicitly acquired money from a subject from Caserta, close to the Casalesi clan.
As part of the same investigation, it also emerged that the entrepreneur, together with other individuals under investigation, contributed to the impoverishment and bankruptcy, which occurred in 2020, of a construction company based in Verona.
Last May, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Florence notified the aforementioned suspects of the “notice of conclusion of investigations”.
The results of the activities carried out and the evidence acquired will be examined by the appointed Judge and, therefore, the responsibility of the persons investigated will have to be examined in the subsequent phases of the criminal proceedings: the principle of non-guilt in force in our legal system requires, in fact, that responsibility be considered ascertained only following the intervention of a definitive sentence.
Today’s activity confirms the commitment of the Judicial Authority and the Guardia di Finanza to combat the infiltration of crime into the legal economy.
