Bitter Sardinia for the Russian oligarchs, close friends of Vladimir Putin. The summer of 2024 does not bode well in the region where almost a billion euros of assets frozen by the European Union are concentrated. Alisher Usmanov, Dmitry Arkadievich Mazepin, Oleg Deripaska and Petr Avenm, to name a few.

The "census" of the tycoons' assets has already begun and they could soon be sold to support Ukraine's resistance.

Gallura is a promising hunting ground for the European Union and its armed wing in Italy, the Financial Security Committee (a body of the Treasury Ministry).

The confiscation of assets is a legally risky operation, but the European Union is under pressure from the United States. The frozen heritage in Gallura is notable, we are talking about villas (in Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo and Palau), yachts, planes, luxury cars and land. In the reports of the Fiamme Gialle of Sassari and Olbia (the financiers carried out the EU seizure orders) the estimated value of the magnates' Gallura treasure is between 800 million and one billion euros.

The many people who work for the Russians in Arzachena and Olbia and all the related operators are very worried.
