Camilla Fabri, a millionaire saleswoman, buys a house in Via dei Condotti

Enough to start a timely report to the attorney, which in similarly rapid times, on investigations of the Finance Currency Unit led by General Giovanni Padula, dates back to the origin of that money, seizes the building and investigating the two young Romans identifies a complex and conspicuous international recycling that starts from Venezuela, passes in a screen company of tax havens around the world, he stops in the center of Rome and is blocked before landing in Russia. He was managed by the husband of the new owner of the house, the Colombian with Lebanese origins Alex Nain Saab Moran (with his brother Luis Alberto), 23 years older than her, a tax domicile in Via Luigi Luciani, in the Parioli, and adhesions with the Caracas government officials chaired by Nicolas Maduro, to whom the entrepreneur very close. The wealth would come from the bribes paid on the (supposed) distribution of food in the South American country under embargo. The total seizure of assets, in addition to the apartment, amounts to ten million euros, including some valuable paintings including the works of pop artist Edward Spitz.

An example of fruitful international collaborationunderlines the regent prosecutor Michele Prestipino, who coordinated the investigations together with the addition of Rodolfo Sabelli. Complex investigations involving 25 companies with screen ownership and headquarters in countries with favorable taxation, included in the US Ofac list because of the risk of recycling. A mix of financial flows that in Italy were washed with nominees (in addition to Camilla Fabri and his brother-in-law the list of suspects could be extended) and then re-used in formally clean (and less controlled) investments in Russia. A matter of time and it would have been impossible to seize the 10 million, part of a figure that is probably much larger than what is being investigated.

As stated in the decree signed by the investigating judge Francesca Ciranna, Saab Moran involved in a vast network of international corruption aimed at obtaining numerous and substantial commercial contracts with the Venezuelan government, including that relating to food subsidies and subject linked to President Maduro. Money laundering also took place in Italy through online banks to guarantee anonymity on accounts from which at least 1.8 million euros would have transited.
