Italian police on Tuesday seized
some 16 million euros in assets from a Salerno businessman
allegedly linked to the Naples-based Camorra mafia.
Roberto Squecco has been convicted of crimes that favoured the
Camorra's Marandino clan.
The assets were seized in Italy and Romania.
It is the first time that an EU measure on mutual recognition of
seizures has been applied, said anti-crime central director
Francesco Messina.
"We are now able to address the offshoring of mafia assets," he
said.
