Sumario:[EN] Several remedies can be adopted in the fight against organized crime and mafias. One of the foremost effective is the confiscation of assets suspected of belonging to them. After confiscation, assets can be used to provide services to citizens, frequently thanks to the support of non-profit organizations. With a focus on Italy, this study investigates the transparency of the confiscation process and the factors that can explain why local governments provide (or do not provide) information regarding confiscated assets.
