Grand Hotel di Riccione seized in €29 million fraud probe

The Guardia di Finanza carried out a raid on the Grand Hotel di Riccione, seizing assets worth €29 million. About thirty finance police officers, assisted by trained dogs, placed seals on roughly thirty units of the hotel complex, including the parking area, pool, warehouses and other facilities. Fifteen Arab tourists staying at the hotel were removed during the operation.

Investigators have opened a fraud case alleging fraudulent bankruptcy. Six people are under investigation, among them former Marebello Spa manager Gianni Andreatta, who is formally resident in Cuba. A judicial administrator, Ugo Morganti, has been appointed to manage the hotel’s affairs. Seized assets also include properties in the provinces of Rimini, Milan, Monza‑Brianza and Bari, all linked to the Marebello group.

The Grand Hotel, inaugurated in 1929 and historically linked to the fascist era, was declared bankrupt in 2023 but continued operating illegally. An auction of the hotel and related properties is scheduled for 23 September, with a base price of roughly €24 million.
