Ex-Daisy treasurer assets seized

(ANSA) - Rome, February 15 - Italian police on Friday seized over nine million euros in assets from the former MP and ex-treasurer of the now-defunct centre-left Daisy party, Luigi Lusia, after his December 2017 conviction for misappropriation and embezzlement.
    The liquidators of the Daisy said "this confiscation has carried out our decision".
    Former Daisy Senator Lusi turned himself in in December 2017 after a receiving definitive seven-year prison sentence.
    The supreme Court of Cassation upheld Lusi's conviction for embezzling 25 million euros in party funds and defaming former Daisy leader Francesco Rutelli, an ex Rome mayor.
