Soldiers from the 2nd Metropolitan Operational Nucleus of the Guardia di Finanza of Naples have executed a decree of preventive seizure di 480mila euros, issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Napoli at the request of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, against a lawyer from the Naples Bar Association and his spouse, the former being investigated for the crime of continued fraud against several people and self-laundering, the latter for the crime of money laundering.
The investigations concern scams committed between 2018 and 2021 to the detriment of victims belonging to two distinct families, to whom the lawyer allegedly offered the purchase of luxury properties in prestigious areas of Napoli (Toledo Street, Chiaia Street, Riviera di Chiaia Street, Calabritto Street) and Roccaraso, proposing sales at extremely convenient prices, all while envisaging hypothetical privileged relationships within the scope of bankruptcy procedures.
In the face of payments made by the victims on the current account accounts registered to the professional, sums intended for the completion of purchases and currently quantified at 480 thousand euros, no activity was actually carried out for this purpose and the invested capital was not returned to the entitled parties. It also emerged that a part of the cash provisions received by the professional, equal to 180 thousand euros, was used by the spouse to purchase a property in a well-known seaside resort in southern Lazio, which is why the suspects were charged with the crimes of self-laundering and money laundering.
