Abstract

The policy of using confiscated property also has a symbolic value. The confiscation of property from the mafia, has multiple implications, one of which is the compensation of the families of the victims, who have already been significantly impacted by the consequences of mafia activities. This is achieved by demonstrating that the subtracted property represents a quantifiable amount of predatory activity that corresponds to the damage caused. Furthermore, the repurposing of property serves to maintain the memory of the victims, whose rights are embedded in the disruption of familial relations caused by mafia activity. Asset investigations are beneficial for two reasons: firstly, they demonstrate the economic pollution operated by mafias and secondly, they reveal the methods by which they control social dynamics. Finally, the aggregation of assets provides insight into the modus operandi of the mafia, which involves the disruption of the market and the exploitation of competitive practices.
