Vibo Valentia man accused of citizenship income fraud

A man in Vibo Valentia, reportedly linked to a 'ndrangheta clan, has been reported to the authorities for allegedly using three false identities to illicitly obtain the ‘Reddito di cittadinanza’ (citizenship income).

Following a risk analysis by the Guardia di Finanza, investigators identified financial anomalies and traced the flow of funds. A key piece of evidence involved 22 payments totaling over 9,000 euros made to a local pastry shop, which helped officials identify the actual user of the subsidies.

The judge at the Vibo Valentia court has issued a preventive seizure order for assets valued at approximately 12,500 euros to cover the damage to the state. This includes both movable and immovable property.
