In Palermo and Carini the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of the Provincial Command of Palermo have executed two patrimonial measures:
- a provision issued by the Court of Palermo – Preventive Measures Section, with which, following the ruling of the Court of Appeal of Palermo in June of the current year, the first degree confiscation issued in January 2022 against CIRESI Girolamo has been declared irrevocable, definitively making the huge assets attributable to him part of those of the State;
- a seizure order issued by the Court of Palermo – Prevention Measures Section dated 27.09.2024, with which the assets attributable to FIORENTINO Salvatore were seized.
CIRESI Girolamo, 76 years old, had been arrested in the operation called “Panta Rei” for its organic nature to the mafia district of “New door“, since it belongs to the family of Palermo Old Town, on behalf of which he had constantly engaged in extortion activities against businesses and commercial establishments in the reference area.
The evidentiary framework collected in the context of the asset investigations, coordinated by the local Public Prosecutor's Office, has allowed to demonstrate how the assets available to CIRESI were in reality the fruit of its illicit activities, thus allowing the issuing of today's irrevocable confiscation order regarding the assets noted below, with a total value of approximately 700.000 Euros:
