PALERMO. Goods for 600 thousand euros were seized from Tommaso Catalano, 56 years old. The provision, carried out by the police, was ordered by the Prevention Measures section of the Palermo court, at the suggestion of the quaestor.

In December 2015, he was arrested as part of the "Panta Rei" operation, together with 38 other people responsible for various crimes of criminal association, mafia, extortion, illicit drug trafficking and illegal detention of weapons.

Catalano, together with his son Pietro and others, was investigated for his membership in a traffic for hashish and cocaine between Campania and Sicily.
