Desenzano del Garda: Over 2 Million Seized from Professional Accused of Embezzlement. The local Guardia di Finanza has conducted searches and seizures against a professional believed to be seriously suspected of embezzlement, refusal to perform official acts, forgery of public documents, and self-laundering. The measure, ordered by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, was initiated following reports indicating that the suspect had misappropriated more than 2.2 million euros from clients during his tenure as a legal guardian and bankruptcy trustee.
The investigations revealed irregularities in the management of legal guardianships and bankruptcy proceedings, including unjustified withdrawals and omissions in accounting. Between 2015 and 2024, the professional allegedly made transfers to his own benefit without justification. During the operation, significant assets were seized, including two properties, a garage, a car, a motorcycle, and a boat. The Guardia di Finanza emphasized that the precautionary measure was issued based on the evidence collected up to that point; therefore, the presumption of innocence for the suspect remains until the conclusion of the trial.
