A raid by the Finance Police of the Cagliari Provincial Command executed, in the provinces of Cagliari, Rome, and Florence, an order for precautionary measures issued by the GIP of the Cagliari Court, at the request of the local Prosecutor's Office, against three individuals . The precautionary seizure of approximately €3 million was also ordered.

The five suspects are charged with criminal conspiracy, embezzlement, impersonation, forgery, and self-laundering.

The investigation, conducted by investigators from the Economic and Financial Police Unit of Cagliari, uncovered the existence of a criminal conspiracy formed by the three recipients of the personal precautionary measure. They, along with two other individuals, allegedly embezzled approximately €2 million between 2020 and 2024, intended for the enhancement and conservation of Sardinia's coastal heritage, which is of particular landscape and environmental importance.

The investigation, which began with the complaint of the new director , the financial police explain in the press release, "has highlighted how the promoter of the association, the acting director of the Sardinian Coastal Conservation Agency, using relatives and people close to him, through 13 fictitious non-profit associations represented by various front men, as well as a capital company (attributable to the director himself), would have siphoned off public funds for private travel and transfers, the rental of a villa on the island of Capri, the purchase of movable property, clothing and other personal items, as well as four properties, including two villas with gardens in the province of Cagliari."

The outflow of public funds was justified in the form of contributions to associations for the implementation of projects and conferences, which in reality never materialized, for the promotion of Sardinia's culture, history, and territory.

Self-laundering activities involving approximately 500 thousand euros were also detected.
