Messina court confiscates €182,000 in assets linked to clandestine betting
A Messina court ordered the seizure and confiscation of property valued at about €182,000 from a man it considered part of the Barcellonesi mafia clan. The court said he had managed gambling and clandestine betting for the group; investigators linked two apartments bought in 2017 to proceeds from illicit activity.
The confiscation demonstrates enforcement action against assets linked by the court to clandestine gambling and betting.
