Mafia, pallets exported to the North and recycled money: confiscation of assets from the Tagliavia family of Palermo. The Guardia di Finanza of Prato seized assets for 38.6 million euros from the alleged exponents of a criminal group linked to the Palermitan family of Corso dei Mille, who would have laundered money resulting from the illicit activities of Cosa Nostra.

The pallet business and the recycling of millions of euros through a network of ghost companies were the affairs of the Tagliavia gang which had extended its interests throughout Italy, especially in Tuscany.

At the center of the investigation was Pietro Tagliavia, Francesco's son, the boss sentenced to life imprisonment for the massacres of via D'Amelio and via dei Georgofili. A Palermo labor consultant, suspended by the Order, residing in Tuscany, would have specialized in the management of false invoices.
