Italian organized crime asset management

Overview

In Italy, efforts to manage and repurpose assets seized from organized crime have gained momentum through new proposals and local initiatives. The ‘Diamo linfa al bene’ campaign, presented by Libera Piemonte, has proposed a permanent allocation of 2% of the Single Justice Fund to support the social reuse of confiscated properties, which could provide approximately 92 million euros to local organizations.

In Naples, the opening of a cooking laboratory in a facility seized from the Camorra has underscored the ongoing need for efficient asset management. Chiara Colosimo, president of the Parliamentary Antimafia Commission, has called for easier access to recovery funds, the removal of strict temporal constraints on concessions, and the use of public-private partnerships to sustain these projects.
