Goods worth more than 10 million euros were seized from Marcello Dell'Utri: the measure was ordered by the Florence investigating judge and the Florence anti-mafia prosecutor's office. According to the prosecution, Dell'Utri, found guilty of external complicity in a mafia-type association, should have communicated, according to the Rognoni Latorre law, the evolution of his income for an amount greater than 42 and a half million. Having failed to do so, a preventive seizure was triggered. The more than 42 million undeclared, according to the prosecution, are the transfers that Silvio Berlusconi, then head of Forza Italia, paid to Dell'Utri once convicted with a final decision, following the judgment of the Court of Cassation of May 9, 2014, and filed on July 1, 2014, for the offense of external complicity in the offense of mafia-type association. It should be clarified that this is not the 30 million that Cav left to the former senator.
