Rome court orders first-instance confiscation of €5m assets, including three betting companies
A Rome court’s specialised prevention-measures section ordered the first-instance confiscation of assets valued at about €5m, including three companies operating betting shops in Pomezia and Ardea. The decree concerns assets linked to people identified in a separate criminal investigation into drug trafficking; an appeal may be brought, and proceedings remain ongoing.
The confiscation affects three betting-shop companies, while its first-instance status leaves an appeal possible.
