Finance police on Monday
confiscated 16 million euros in assets linked to Salvatore
Buzzi, the jailed kingpin of several cooperatives who is at the
centre of the so-called Mafia Capitale probe into an alleged
crime ring that muscled in on lucrative Rome city contracts.
The seized assets include all the assets of Rome real
estate firm Sarim Immobiliare Srl, of which 48% was held by
Buzzi's June 29 Cooperative and 4% by Social Formula
Cooperative, both of which were seized and shut down in December
in the Rome Mafia probe.
Sarim assets include a 2,750 square-meter building that
Buzzi's cooperatives used as a reception center for refugees and
asylum seekers.
Monday's seizure brings total assets seized in the probe so
far to some 360 million euros, investigators said.
