Italy announced the seizure of more than €200 million (about $232 million) in assets tied to the late Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, saying the wealth was generated by drug trafficking and laundered and reinvested across Europe. Authorities linked the move to long-running investigations into organized-crime financing following his capture after nearly 30 years on the run. The confiscation is part of a wider pattern of international enforcement actions targeting narcotics networks and their financial infrastructure, complementing major drug seizures and arrests elsewhere in Europe and the Americas.
