The Milan financial guard arrested Maurizio Sacchi, owner of the Dpi, a company in the diamond sales promotion sector active mainly in Northern Italy, on charges of self-laundering. The operation is a development of the investigation into the diamond scam coordinated by the prosecutor Grazia Colacicco, which saw Vasco Rossi and Diana Bracco among the victims.
The survey in February 2019 led to the seizure of assets for over 700 million, as well as in January 2020 to the seizure of company shares and financial assets for about 34 million euros.
The further investigative developments, resulting from the deepening of the operational management of one of the companies whose shares had already been subjected to seizure, allowed to reconstruct a complex recycling operation, "structured" with the contribution of an entrepreneur operating in the financial sector ( already subjected to a precautionary measure in prison in recent days) to conceal, through the interposition of companies operating in Central and Northern Italy in the most diversified economic sectors, part of the proceeds of the fraud committed against savers. The activities were carried out in Rome, Ancona and Porto Recanati.
