Messina authorities seize assets worth over 91,000 euros

The Guardia di Finanza in Messina has executed an expanded confiscation order against a convicted individual and his spouse. The seizure, ordered by the First Criminal Section of the Court of Messina following a proposal by the local Public Prosecutor, involves assets valued at more than 91,000 euros.

The confiscated property includes two real estate units, one of which is a villa with a swimming pool, as well as various financial assets. The measure was taken due to a significant disproportion between the family's declared income and their actual assets, which authorities believe are derived from illicit activities, specifically related to a 2018 conviction for receiving stolen goods.

The confiscation is subject to appeal and remains under judicial review.
