Italian and Albanian authorities have uncovered a sophisticated money laundering scheme by an Albanian mafia family in Italy, seizing assets worth around 4 million euros in the province of Verona.
The joint operation between the Guardia di Finanza in Verona and the National Bureau of Investigation in Albania has uncovered one of the first cases of reinvestment in Italy of proceeds from international drug trafficking by Albanian mafia groups.
The investigation noted that the suspected family had used drug trafficking profits to purchase property and other assets in the Verona area, through a structured money laundering network.
According to authorities, the Court of Verona has issued a preliminary order for the seizure of real estate, shares of commercial companies and financial assets owned by this Albanian family, with a total value of approximately 4 million euros. The execution of the injunction was carried out in the early hours of this morning.
More details on the operation will be made public during a joint press conference, via a video link between the Chief Prosecutor of Verona, Raffaele Tito, and the head of the Albanian Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime, Altin Dumani, as well as representatives of the Guardia di Finanza.
