I was wrong, the bust I was thinking of didn't involve a billion, but 700 million. But if you put it in dollars it's close to a billion. It was Camorra businessman Dante Passarelli.
I'm familiar with the 'Sugar king' the Passarili's are from casal di principe, in February the confiscation of assets against Biagio, Gianluca and Davide Passarelli, heirs of Dante Passarelli, has been annulled. The Court of Appeal declared the statute of limitations for the crimes. There is also no place to proceed for Vassallo. Carmine Vassallo pocketed sums of money deriving from the rent of seized goods.
