The Court of Cassation confirmed the seizure of almost 3.5 million euros against Irene Pivetti.
The second criminal section of the Supreme Court rejected, in fact, the defense appeal.
The former Speaker of the Chamber is accused of tax evasion and self-laundering in an investigation by the Milan Financial Police Unit.
Under the lens of the Milanese prosecutor Giovanni Tarzia, who coordinates the investigation, there are a series of commercial transactions , in particular the purchase and sale of three Ferrari Gran Turismo , which would have been used to launder income resulting from tax evasion.
In February, the Milan Review, accepting the prosecutor's appeal after the rejection by the investigating judge, had ordered the millionaire seizure against the former deputy and another seizure of almost half a million from one of his consultants, Pier Domenico Peirone , who already negotiated 1 year and 10 months. Then came the appeal of the defense and finally the decision of the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor has asked for the indictment of the former member of the League and 5 other people . The preliminary hearing, before the gup Fabrizio Filice, is set for 6 October.
