Yesterday the Council Chamber Group 'center for Asciano "presented at a City Council agenda on Suvignano. Below is the full text in support of the agenda which was made my speech in the Council.
SUVIGNANO IN BRIEF
Suvignano The farm, located in the town of Monteroni d'Arbia and consists of about 700 hectares of land (one sixth of the entire municipality) and several farms , belonged to manufacturer Sicilian Vincenzo Piazza. the late 90's Square has been indicted for mafia and suffered the confiscation of his assets among them the farm Suvignano. The seized goods were finally confiscated in April 2007. Applications now emerged for the allocation of the company are twofold:
- a Livestock Institute Siciliano, according to a pr otocollo of Understanding for the breeding of certain breeds;
Law No. 575 of 1965 and subsequent amendments provides (in Article 2. - Undicies, paragraph 2) a distinction between real estate and business assets: the first is expected to be awarded to local authorities for reuse social purposes, for the second rental company or the sale. The rationale of the law is clear: it makes little sense to propose a public administration, for example, a manufacturing factory. In the case of Suvignano, since the farm, it is difficult to distinguish between real estate and business assets. After several questions of interpretation, the State Property Suvignano ranked as good business and this does not permit the direct assignment of assets to local authorities but the rental company or the sale. Following several meetings between local authorities, Prefecture of Siena and the Estate Agents involved, culminating in the ability of the asset allocation as well property, after it had been a liquidation company with foreclosure, whose debts were discharged by local future recipients of the good. Law No. 94 of 15.07.2009 to vente object "Measures of public security" (Article. 2, paragraph 20 with the amendment of Article 2. - Ii of Law No. 575 of 1965) stipulates that the decision on the classification of assets as property or business is no longer head of the Prefecture and the State Property Agency, on the same non-binding proposal. The Prefecture, however, still does not have a technical structure that can express themselves on. The proposed amendment the Finance Act 2010 (Amendment No 3 to the 2300 text of DDL No. 1790 and approved by the Senate November 13, 2009) introduces (in Article 2, paragraph 18 - sexiesvicies) the possibility of sale of property confiscated from the mafia.
- a City of Monteroni d'Arbia with the Province of Siena and the region Tuscany, with a proposal for management and development company that takes account of developments in terms of agriculture, tourism, hunting, and above all social, calibrated in relation to the management tool, as ARCI and Freedom will partner for the project on "The farm of the law." The USL 7 showed interest in concrete and formal to use one or more estates to house a shelter for battered women and children.
OUR POINT OF VIEW
We believe very dangerous to the auctioning of goods confiscated from the Mafia, they are well aware of the ease with which the mafia associations may repossess the property by means of pr estanome. In addition, the mafia may be in possession of substantial cash to invest, even under the so-called "tax shelter". We also believe that this choice would be an extremely dangerous precedent because it does not guarantee to the return of the company into the wrong hands and above completely ignores the principle of the rule is intended to provide a utility for public goods confiscated. In addition, we believe it is essential to prevent, in general, the auctioning of goods confiscated from the Mafia and, specifically, the sale of the farm Suvignano. To understand the risk we run by auctioning Suvignano, it helps to know some events related to Vincent Square.
PIAZZA, Zummo, ARNER BANK AND TAX SHIELD
Vincenzo Piazza (former owner of Suvignano the farm) in the past used as front man for drug trafficking and money laundering operations of his son Ignazio Zummo and his father, Francesco, Palermo building contractor. Let's try to understand who the Zummo and what is their potential. Over 80 years Giovanni Falcone was to assume a round of recycling by Francesco Zummo and Francesco Civello. The charges related to drugs were prescribed and declared Civello was acquitted. In 1998 he was arrested the son Ignatius, also on charges of having helped his father-Vincenzo Piazza. In November 2001 he was arrested in Palermo Francesco Zummo o's were seized assets worth 300 billion lire. In January 2006, against Zummo snapped a seizure of money amounting to EUR 20 million, some of which are deposited with banks in Monaco. In 2006, the Gup Palermo sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and 3 years Francesco Zummo son Ignatius, both for aiding and abetting, and criminal association. According to the indictment, the two would nominee Vincenzo Piazza. Both Piazza Francesco Zummo that have already been convicted for aiding and Vito Ciancimino for helping to recycle some of its treasure abroad. Mrs. Teresa Macaluso, wife of Francesco Zummo, is the registered holder of an account by € 13 million at the agency in Milan of a Swiss bank. This bank (Banca Arner) was com Commissariat by Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti on the recommendation of the Bank of Italy Mario Draghi to suspicions of money laundering. Two of the founders of the Arner are Paolo Del Bue, a man of confidence of Berlusconi, and Nicola Bravetti that ended in May 2008 under house arrest, along with Zummo, all on charges of conspiring to fake header of goods, aggravated from having acted in order to promote what ours would have allowed the wife of Francis, Teresa Macaluso precisely headers between 2003 and 2005 the amount of approximately 13 million different ways, according to the prosecution, from the affairs of the Mafia. Incidentally, the current account Arner Bank number one is made out to Mr. Silvio Berlusconi and a balance of about 10 million. In the tri accounts, attributable to the holding company led by Marina and Piersilvio, there are another 50 million, for a total of about 60 million, representing one fourth of the assets of Banca Arner. Other celebrity clients of the bank are Ennio Doris, founder of the group Mediolanum, Cesare Previti and accountant Salvatore Sciascia, a Fininvest veteran home. is clear what the risk to auction Suvignano: the union "nominee" and "tax shelter" could be explosive.
Rita Borsellino
Same Rita Borsellino is opinion. "The sale by auction of the farm Suvignano decided by the State Property Tuscany and Umbria is an absolute mind averted." So Rita Borsellino in a press release, 20.11.2009. "This decision threatens to scupper the concrete actions that the local associations Siena carry out on such land from time to spread the values \u200b\u200bof legality and fight against all forms of violence and crime. I appeal to all institutions involved and that can make a contribution to the review of the decision of ' State Property Agency of Tuscany and Umbria, in order that averted the possibility of auctioning and act in line the sense described by the law, ie the reuse of the social good. "
CONCLUSIONS
We therefore believe that we must work to build a correct interpretation of the provision allowing assignment respects the principle of law that is intended to ensure a social destination of confiscated property , be they real estate or business. We believe that reuse of the social good is the only way to make good citizens, state and local communities the serious damage caused by the Mafia. In this perspective, the social recovery project Agricola Suvignano would have a double meaning: on the one hand marks the return to legality and a strong position against all mafias, the other the birth of "The farm of Legality" and a reception center for children and battered women in an area very close to ours, is a great opportunity for our population, the economic, employment and education. We believe it is essential that the City Council of Asciano, the scope of its competence, undertakes to:
- support bodies competent to make a contribution to the revision of the Agency's decision State Property in Tuscany and Umbria, in order that averted the possibility of auctioning and act in line with what is prohibited by law, ie the social reuse of the property;
- support the mobilization in support the application of the City of Monteroni d'Arbia, the Province of Siena and the Tuscany region, so that it can be detected on a solution to the allocation of the property in accordance with the rules and at the same time in the spirit of the law;
- promote, in collaboration with local stakeholders, collecting signatures for a petition volt aa prevent the sale of those goods;
- support the approval of amendments to the House of Representatives to change the rule that provides for the sale of confiscated property;
- support the appeal of Freedom "Nothing Gifts from the mafia, the Cosa Nostra are confiscated property ", designed to amend a rule unjust, sponsored by other groups and signed, among others, by Don Ciotti, Rita Borsellino, Guglielmo Epifani, Paolo Beni, Nando Dalla Chiesa, Enrico Fontana Former Minister Pisanu.
