Tons of marijuana and millions of euros. Italy executes 58 prohibition orders,

About 42 million euros of drugs were invested in the legal economy through illegal Chinese banking systems and invested in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, China and Hong Kong.

Among the arrested are Albanians.

A mega-operation of the Italian Antimafia in cooperation with the Guardia di Finanza was executed this morning between Italy and Spain.

By order of the Milan Prosecutor's Office, 58 arrest warrants have been executed, 46 under arrest warrants, 33 in prison, 13 under house arrest and 12 listed in the register of persons under investigation.

The bans were carried out in the territories of the provinces of Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Monza, Varese, Mantova, Turin, Alessandria, Asti, Prato, Rome, Teramo, Catania, Salerno and in Spain on charges of international drug trafficking, money laundering income from drug trafficking and fiscal fraud.

The group of drug traffickers consists of Italian, Spanish, Albanian and Chinese citizens.

The investigations have documented the traffic of about 30 tons of marijuana and hashish with a profit value of about 42 million euros and a turnover of cash of 26 million euros within one year.

The investigations also clarified the mechanism of the way this drug trafficking group used to recycle the money profited from the drug business.

The transfer of money and its recycling in Spain was carried out through illegal banking systems managed by Chinese nationals that were used as money collection centers and that were sent quickly, anonymously, untraceable and through an informal mechanism. Chinese owners of commercial activities in Spain received the money through a 1.5-2% interest on each transfer.

An identification code based on the serial number of the banknote in the smallest denomination sent by the courier was used to individualize and accept the amount of money transferred from Italy that came from drug trafficking. The coincidence between the serial number and the number communicated by the reference point in Italy documented the transfer.

The investigations have also established that the money of the drug traffickers taken possession of by the Chinese traders, exceeding tens of millions of euros, was "sold", i.e. immediately invested in another criminal organization composed of Italian entrepreneurs active in the steel and plastic sector, and through non-existent fiscal invoices made bank transfers to China, Hong Kong, Switzerland.

This fraudulent scheme through fake fiscal invoices was used to recycle drug business money into the legal economy.

The special feature of this investigation is that it has documented how the money earned from drug trafficking was used by tax evaders, committing a mixture of economic crime and ordinary crime through illegal profits worth millions of euros.

In the possession of the members of this group of drug traffickers, 10 business companies, 52 real estates and bank accounts with a financial value of 9 million euros have been seized in Lombardy and in the northern Italian regions.
