Over 3 million euros. This is the amount of assets - money, current accounts, shares - seized by the carabinieri from three people arrested yesterday as part of the "El Dorado" operation which dismantled a criminal organization specialized in hashish and cocaine trafficking that ended up in Spain then in Italy, touching five regions: Sardinia, Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Abruzzo.

In all, 19 people ended up in prison. That the three - aged 56, 49 and 45 - had a large availability of money, the investigators of the Arma understood immediately, given that they were able to import 1,500 into Italy from the Iberian Peninsula, once every two months. 2,000 kilos of drugs, and then launder the money earned from drug trafficking even at the casino.

The further confirmation came during the investigations involving the three arrested and their front names.

The military of the Cagliari investigative unit thus opened several safety deposit boxes in various credit institutions attributable to the three, recovering almost 900 thousand euros in cash, numerous jewels and gold jewelry, some of which with diamonds.

In fact, current accounts, company shares and policies for over one million euros were seized, plus a dozen apartments in Turin in the name of nominees.

This is a seizure for inequality, given that the three, considered the brokers of the organization, every year declared figures not even close to those found in current accounts and safety deposit boxes.
