Italian police in Rome have seized
stores, restaurants, apartments and assets worth seven million
euros from three Neapolitan entrepreneurs allegedly linked to
the Campania-based Camorra crime syndicate, investigators said
Friday.
The operation follows the arrest in January of the three
businessmen - brothers Luigi, Antonio and Salvatore Righi - and
the seizure of several pizza outlets and restaurants they owned
in downtown Rome.
The Righi brothers are accused of money laundering on behalf
of the Contini Camorra clan.
The new operation has led to the shutdown of an ice cream
parlor on the central Via del Tritone street and three bars and
pizza outlets in the famous Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna
squares.
Police also seized apartments in Naples and a company in
Reggio Calabria.
