The amount that the carabinieri seized from 20 people allegedly related to clan members of the Neapolitan area is approximately 220 thousand euros: a sum that the recipients of the provision issued by the investigating magistrate of the Court of Torre Annunziata, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office, have received as basic income in the period between March 2019 and September 2021.
The 20 are accused of "aggravated fraud for the undue obtaining of public funds" and "failure to communicate the changes in information due and relevant for the purposes of the revocation or reduction of the citizen's income".
During the investigations by the Carabinieri of Torre Annunziata, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office, it emerged that the income recipients, in the application to access the benefit or, in some cases, even after its presentation, would have failed to communicate to INPS that they were subjected (or that a cohabiting family member was) to a personal precautionary measure;
in one case, however, the definitive conviction of a cohabiting spouse for criminal association was omitted.
In this way they would have misled the institution providing the income, receiving it illegitimately.
The carabinieri seized 12 post-mat cards for citizenship income, 4 homes, a share in the company worth 10,000 euros, 6 motor vehicles, 32 financial reports (the consistency of which is being ascertained at the respective credit institutions), the total of 17,000 euros in cash, a cashier's check worth 10,000 euros and a gold necklace.
