I prodotti dei terreni confiscati alla mafie - da Libera
21.05.2006 L'associazione Libera annuncia che promuoverà una serie di inziative perchè l'Ue introduca un provvedimento di confisca dei beni alla criminalità organizzata con le stessa validità del mandato di arresto europeo. "Le sfide del futuro si delineano sul fronte europeo contro tutte le mafie, perchè è chiaro che i denari di provenienza illecita della mafia russa, delle mafie dell'ex Jugoslavia e della mafia siciliana si trovano anche al di fuori dei confini dei rispettivi Paesi" - ha affermato don Ciotti in un convegno a Palermo dove ha presentato i nuovi canali di commercializzazione dei prodotti agroalimentari provenienti da terre sottratte ai boss mafiosi e gestite da cooperative giovanili in Sicilia. In dieci anni sono stati confiscati dallo Stato 6.500 beni, oltre 2.500 sono stati destinati ad attività sociali e di volontariato.
