Money laundering and tax fraud also in San Marino, unsuccessful seizure against Irene Pivetti
The investigating judge of Nilano does not validate the seizure of 4 million euros against Irene Pivetti.
Several news websites report it, underlining that the investigating judge of Milan, Giusy Barbara, did not validate the preventive seizure of 4 million euros against the former speaker of the Chamber, Irene Pivetti, and one of his consultants, carried out in recent days in an investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office on a series of commercial transactions, in particular the purchase and sale of 3 Ferrari Gran Turismo, which would have been used to launder the proceeds of tax evasion.
It was therefore ordered the release from seizure and the restitution of the sum to the two suspects, accused of money laundering, self-laundering and tax fraud because the investigating judge did not agree with the legal approach of the Public Prosecutor, considering that the predicate offense of the disputed facts has a different qualification.
The emergency preventive seizure was carried out on 18 November last at the same time as the notice of closure of the investigations against Irene Pivetti and six other people, namely the consultant Pier Domenico Peirone, the rally driver and former Gran Turismo champion, Leonardo “Leo” Isolani, his wife Manuela Mascoli, her daughter, Giorgia Giovannelli, the notary Francesco Maria Trapani and another entrepreneur.
The amount that the prosecutor blocked and that has now been returned is 3.5 million and a half attributable to the Northern League representative and 500 thousand euros to the professional.
