'Ndrangheta, "Aemilia": over 8 million confiscated from Antonio Muto of the Cutro clan
01 February 2023

These are assets for an estimated value of around 8,500,000 euros confiscated from a prominent exponent of the autonomous 'Ndrangheta association, active in the territories of Reggio Emilia, Parma, Modena and Piacenza, historically linked to the Cutro gang (KR) headed by to Nicolino Grande Aracri .

Antonio Muto , born in 1955, definitively sentenced on 7 May 2022 to 10 years and 8 months' imprisonment as part of the " Aemilia " operation for mafia-type association, is currently in prison.

The figure of the convict is that of a very active participant in the Emilian 'Ndrangheta association, observing the hierarchies and rules dictated by the bosses, faithful to the directives received, shared and implemented, a link between the mafia clan and representatives of local institutions, thus allowing the strengthening and the economic expansion of the partnership, clearly entrepreneurial.

The investigations carried out by the DIA made it possible to identify a set of assets which the convict had access to and demonstrate that their value was disproportionate to the income declared and the economic activity carried out.

The confiscation order affected 50 properties including a luxury villa in Reggio Emilia, industrial warehouses, land, a real estate company, a vehicle and 12 bank relationships. The entire assets, which passed definitively into the hands of the State, will be administered by the National Agency for Seized and Confiscated Assets.
