An important operation by the Carabinieri
An operation conducted by the Carabinieri of the Amalfi Company led to the seizure of a luxury property located in a monastic complex of great historical value in Maiori, on the Amalfi Coast. The preventive seizure order was issued by the judge for preliminary investigations of the Court of Salerno, at the request of the Prosecutor's Office, and the military carried out the operation yesterday morning.
The historical value of the site
The seized property is part of the monastic complex known as the “remains of the former 2002th century Badia di Santa Maria Olearia with hypogea and catacombs,” a site that in XNUMX was declared of significant historical, artistic and archaeological interest by the Regional Superintendent. The discovery has attracted great attention, not only for the cultural value of the place, but also for the irregularities related to its management.
Irregularities and investigations
In addition to the seizure of the property, an area of land underneath was also seized, where sewage from the tourist-accommodation activity was being illegally dumped. The owners of the properties and the land are currently being investigated for various crimes, including destruction and illegal use of cultural heritage. Investigations have revealed that illegal construction work was carried out without the necessary permits, in an area subject to landscape restrictions and at high hydrogeological risk.
The environmental consequences
The investigations also brought to light serious environmental violations, as the suspects allegedly channeled toilet waste into an inadequate, unauthorized collection tank. These actions not only compromise the historical value of the site, but also endanger the surrounding environment, highlighting the need for greater vigilance and protection of cultural and landscape assets in Italy.
