Italian media report that this morning the mega operation "Apogeo" took place, which led to the seizure of the property of the mafia clan "Spada", which operated on the Roman coast of Ostia.
Guardia di Finanza by order of the Rome Prosecutor's Office and after investigations carried out by the Anti-Mafia Directorate has seized the 18 million euros worth property of the "Spada" clan hidden in companies and businesses under false names or under the identity of persons and family members affiliated with members of this clan.
10 business companies, 2 companies and 6 sports and cultural clubs were seized, as well as the management of some bars, gambling, gas stations, bakeries, gyms, ballet schools, car showrooms and construction companies.
The gym in Ostia was also seized, where in November 2017 the mafia boss Roberto Spada raped and threatened a team of RAI journalists and operators.
Two villas in the municipalities of Ostia and Ardea in Rome, as well as 13 vehicles and bank accounts, were confiscated from the Spada clan.
