Oliviero was found in possession of a gun, some knives and checks. The investigation is being kept under wraps.

The 46-year-old came to public attention in 2018 after being filmed by fanpage journalists while negotiating, on behalf of the regional company Sma, with the former boss Nunzio Perrella (in the guise of a self-styled waste entrepreneur) an alleged bribe of 50 thousand euros for the assignment of a waste disposal service in Campania. The investigations are coordinated by the prosecutor Antonio Ricci. The arrest was carried out by the financial police of the Vallo della Lucania branch, engaged for several months in an investigation regarding the burial of toxic waste in Cilento. The matter is under the strictest secrecy. The arrest has just been validated.
Coastal and Cilento Coast: Inspections of tourist rentals uncovered 68 irregularities by the Finance Police.
Summer of tight controls in Amalfi Coast and in Cilento, where the Salerno Financial Police has turned the spotlight on the world of tourist rentals. The toll is heavy: out of dozens of inspected properties, 68 were found to be irregular, while another 49 are still under investigation. This data captures a widespread and deep-rooted phenomenon, where illegal activities and non-compliance with regulations threaten not only the healthy economy, but also the safety and rights of workers.
The investigations uncovered operators completely unknown to the tax authorities, VAT evaders, and lacking any health and safety authorizations. Tax-exempt income exceeding €100 was also discovered, indicating a parallel system that is damaging the market and public coffers. Particularly significant is the violation of the National Identification Code, mandatory since 2025: in 34 cases, it was not requested, displayed, or communicated, effectively rendering the businesses invisible to the ministerial census.
