Finance and anti-mafia police on
Thursday arrested a businessman and seized assets worth over 40
million euros as part of an anti-tax-evasion operation targeting
the Neapolitan Camorra crime organisation.
Morgan Meluzio from the town of Battipaglia in Salerno
province was arrested and another 18 people were probed on
charges of racketeering, using front men to falsify asset
ownership, attempted fraud, and issuing false invoices.
Assets seized in Campobasso, Rome and Salerno provinces as
well as overseas in Bulgaria included 11 dairy and trash
collection companies, six buildings and lots of land, five
large-cylinder vehicles, two large pleasure boats, stocks, and
accounts in some 40 banks.
Investigators say the assets amounted to much more than the
suspects' declared income.
