Cars, accounts and a villa: assets worth over 2 million seized from fugitive Tulliani

Current accounts, a villa in Rome and two cars, one of which is a luxury car. These are the assets, with a total value of EUR 2.2 million, seized from Giancarlo Tulliani, a Dubai resident - currently a fugitive - sentenced to six years for money laundering.

This is the operation ordered by the Prevention Measures Section of the Court of Rome and carried out by the Investigation and Organised Crime Service of the Guardia di Finanza.

The measure stems from the 2017 investigation that led to the execution of a cautionary custody order issued by the Rome Court of Preliminary Investigation Judge against a criminal association. In detail, members of the Tulliani family and other figures such as the businessman Francesco Corallo, arrested in December the year before. The charges: peculation, money laundering and fraudulent evasion of tax payments.

The group's illicit laundered profits were used to acquire real estate and other financial assets. In particular, Giancarlo received, either directly or through offshore companies, substantial transfers of money of illicit origin, without any reason or justified by fictitious contractual documents, and transferred the sums abroad, using his own bank accounts.
