history
The tasks of the ANBSC were partly taken over by the Agency for Real Estate Tasks Agenzia del Demanio until 2010 . The ANBSC was founded in 2010. The legal basis for this was a legislative decree of the Berlusconi government of February 4, 2010, which was then converted into law by the parliament on March 31st. In September 2011 this law and other legal regulations were replaced by the so-called anti-mafia code. The legal basis of the ANBSC there was reformed in 2017. The headquarters of ANBSC were in Reggio Calabria until the end of 2017. After small branch offices had gradually emerged, the headquarters of the authority was relocated to Rome and the previous office in Reggio Calabria (against local resistance) was converted into a branch office. In the first few years of its existence, the agency suffered from a blatant lack of staff and resources. In 2012, around 30 employees were responsible for over 10,000 properties, around 4,000 movable objects and over 1,500 companies, of which around 90 percent went bankrupt. Interior Minister Marco Minniti ( Gentiloni cabinet ) made the expansion of the agency one of his priorities in 2017. His successor Matteo Salvini announced the further expansion of ANBSC in June 2018. While only 187 properties were sold in 2012, there were a total of 2,411 in 2017.
Special legal framework
In Italy, a reversal of the burden of proof was introduced to combat money laundering , which applies in certain cases: If there is a suspicion of a mafia-like association, the assets are compared with the income, and if there are doubts about the origin of the capital, the public prosecutor can request proof of its origin . According to the Italian public prosecutor Roberto Scarpinato , the Mafia invested more heavily in Germany after the introduction of this reversal of the burden of proof.
