Last update: 12 hours agoCross-border anti-mafia crackdown: Italy says it has seized more than €200m in assets tied to late Sicilian boss Matteo Messina Denaro, including 12kg of gold, millions in cash, premium watches and around 20 luxury properties, with raids spanning Andorra, Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, Spain, Switzerland, Lebanon, Luxembourg and Monaco; investigators also point to offshore firms allegedly used to move money and invest in the legal economy. Andorra link in the probe: Reporting says an Andorran tip about a “suspiciously wealthy” Sicilian woman helped trace the network, including holdings connected to Denaro’s circle.
