"Taiwan" may become the property of Italy: mafia will transfer the artificial island to the state
Perhaps the most notorious criminal in Italy, Raffaele Imperiale, who was arrested in 2021, began cooperating with the investigation. As part of the agreement, the mafioso decided to transfer control over the artificial island of Taiwan, which he had acquired, to the country. This was reported by SSPDaily.
This island is located in the archipelago opposite Dubai. It was there that the drug trafficker from the Camorra mafia group spent many years. The estimated cost of the island called Taiwan is 60 million euros. The Imperiale intends to hand it over to the Italian authorities. This was reported by SSPDaily.
Imperiale cooperated with the investigation in order to reduce his sentence. The prosecutor's office is asking for a sentence of 14 years and 10 months behind bars. The mafioso is charged along with twenty other people.
During the searches, a "treasure chest" in bitcoins worth 1.8 million euros was found at Imperiale's place. Imperiale became one of the largest drug traffickers in the world, buying tons of drugs directly from Colombian cartels.
