Millions seized from ex-FSE execs

(ANSA) - Bari, June 28 - Finance police on Tuesday seized assets worth 12 million euros in the so-called "golden trains" fraud case in which the Puglia region bought 27 trains at a vastly inflated price of 93 million euros.
    The assets were seized from ex-Ferrovie del Sud Est (South-Eastern Railways - FSE) chief Luigi Fiorillo, former FSE executive Nicola Alfonso, and an Italian former agent for Polish company Varsa Sp. Z.o.o. Separately, the Audit Court ordered assets of 4.5 million euros seized from Fiorillo and former FSE exec Francesco Paolo Angiulli as part of an investigation into waste and high-paid consulting jobs that allegedly drove FSE into the ground, with debt above 250 million euros.
