In the context of criminal proceedings initiated at the Public Prosecutor's Office of Lamezia Terme, two separate preventive seizure orders were issued against the legal representative of a company operating in the Lamezia area, in the field of road haulage, considered in various ways responsible for the crime of embezzlement to the detriment of a company based in Turin. As part of the investigations, which arose from two complaints received by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Lamezia Terme, the finance police of the Mobile Unit and the Judicial Police Section of the Lamezia Terme Group carried out specific checks in which it was verified that, in relation to sixteen financial lease contracts entered into for as many leased vehicles, the amounts due were not paid and the heavy vehicles were not returned to the rightful owner. Through the aforementioned criminal conduct, the Lamezia company unlawfully appropriated 16 heavy vehicles to the detriment of the leasing company. The aforementioned vehicles were seized by the finance police and entrusted to the custody of the person appointed by the judge.
