Italian authorities have confiscated assets worth approximately one million euros from a Moroccan national based in Busto Arsizio's surrounding area. The seizure, executed on November 7 by Varese State Police, followed orders from the Milan Court targeting proceeds from drug trafficking operations.
According to La Provincia Di Varese newspaper, the investigation revealed that the network's leader used family members to register luxury properties and assets while simultaneously collecting state benefits. The seized assets included a 500-square-meter villa and a high-end BMW vehicle.
Financial investigations exposed a complex scheme involving wives, stepchildren, sisters, and in-laws who appeared as formal owners of properties, vehicles, and insurance policies despite having no legitimate income. The family members were receiving INPS benefits, including citizenship income and other allowances, while maintaining a luxurious lifestyle.
During the operation, authorities discovered two undocumented Moroccan nationals residing in one of the confiscated properties. Both individuals were immediately expelled by the Varese Prefecture. The leader's sister, suspected of providing accommodation to the unauthorized residents, is currently under investigation.
