The financiers of the Faenza Company have executed an emergency preventive seizure issued by the Ravenna Prosecutor's Office against seven companies and five people belonging, according to the accusation, to a partnership that had obtained undue profits of over 2 million at the expense of 650 people residing in 13 regions: Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Tuscany, Sicily, Sardinia , Piedmont, Marche, Lombardy, Liguria, Lazio, Emilia-Romagna, Campania, Basilicata. Two of the companies involved are based in Cagliari, with investigators having opened the seals.

The provision follows the issue last December of 4 precautionary custody orders - one of which against Luca Silvestrone , who in recent years had presented himself as the representative of a phantom US consortium intending to purchase Cagliari Calcio - carried out by the Fiamme Gialle Faenza for criminal association, fraud, self-laundering and false invoices.

According to what was reconstructed by the investigations coordinated by the Prosecutor, Angela Scorza, the fraud mechanism was aimed at offering victims the possibility of accessing financing provided by European Union bodies at very advantageous conditions. But to obtain them it was necessary to pay a sum to prepare the procedure: money to be credited to the bank accounts of companies attributable to the association based in Rome, Turin, Viareggio and Cagliari.

The promised funding for a total amount of around 60 million euros, however, never arrived as the European funds turned out to be completely non-existent.
