The Syracuse investigating judge has ordered the precautionary seizure of €5,670,693 from seven individuals and eight companies linked to the Syracuse-based Onda group, which distributes electricity, primarily between Sicily and Sardinia. The group previously acquired Energit.

The Guardia di Finanza investigation, coordinated by prosecutor Salvatore Grillo and chief prosecutor Sabrina Gambino, dates back ten years and concerns "a variety of bankruptcy, tax, and property crimes, some of which date back over time, but are repeated and committed with such systematicity as to indicate the existence of a true criminal conspiracy," as stated in the order.

The various charges include conspiracy to commit money laundering, bankruptcy, tax crimes, and conspiracy to commit fraud. The suspects are alleged to have committed fraud against public entities and money laundering, failed payment of VAT and customs duties, and fraudulent bankruptcies.
