Anti-mafia investigation directorate confiscates over two million euros in assets linked to Carlo Montella

The Operational Department of the Anti-Mafia Investigative Directorate in Salerno has today executed a decree to seize real estate worth over two million euros linked to Carlo Montella, currently incarcerated in the Parma prison for multiple aggravated murders, camorra-style association, usury, extortion and other crimes. The Review Court, in the presence of the established ‘qualified’ social danger of the suspect, has ordered the seizure of real estate and economic assets attributed to Montella, considered as proceeds of the illegal activities he has been carrying out for a long time. The complex and detailed financial investigations carried out by the DIA investigators and analysts revealed a clear disproportion between the assets and the income capacities of the suspect and his relatives. The Court of Salerno then issued a confiscation order, executed today, targeting several properties, including a real estate complex (Parco Concetta) consisting of several apartments, garages and undeveloped areas in Angri, and another property (Villa Concetta) in the municipality of Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino. Carlo Montella is said to have simulated for years the existence of a psychiatric disorder resulting in serious cognitive deterioration, validated by numerous medico-legal and psychiatric consultations and expert reports, which allowed him to obtain recognition of a state of procedural incapacity that led to the postponement of numerous legal proceedings for serious crimes pending against him and his collaborators before the judicial authorities of Salerno and Naples.
