The Italian government announced on 28 May 2026 that a large‑scale anti‑money‑laundering operation led to the seizure of assets worth more than €200 million. President Giorgia Meloni and Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti expressed satisfaction and congratulated the Guardia di Finanza for coordinating the operation internationally. The seizure represents another setback for organized crime groups linked to the mafia, including drug traffickers such as the Cosa Nostra boss Matteo Messina Denaro. The government will allocate the recovered funds to security measures, with the possibility of distributing them to relevant authorities next year. These resources are intended to increase police activity, particularly by enhancing police presence at railway stations.
