Libera’s RimanDati report presented at Trame13
“RimanDati” was presented at Trame13 at the press conference, the third national report on the state of transparency of confiscated assets in local administrations, created by Libera in collaboration with the Abele Group and the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society of the University of Turin and with the precious contribution of ISTAT.
In Calabria – the report denounces – there are 133 municipalities that are recipients of confiscated real estate (in total there are 1870 assets), of these 67 are those that do not publish the list on their website, as required by law, equal to 50 % of the total, while 66 are those who publish information on the confiscated assets destined for them.
The negative record goes to the municipalities of the Province of Vibo Valentia where out of 20 municipalities receiving confiscated assets, 13 do not publish the list; the photograph is no better for the municipalities of the Province of Crotone where out of 11 municipalities there are 6 that do not publish the list, followed by the Province of Cosenza with 7 municipalities out of a total of 19 and the Province of Reggio Calabria with 33 municipalities out of the 67 recipients of goods confiscated. For those in the Province of Catanzaro, out of 16 municipalities, half are in default.
In general, the negative record in terms of absolute transparency goes to the municipalities of Southern Italy (including the islands) with 248 municipalities that do not publish the list. Northern Italy follows with 87 municipalities and the Center with 51. At the level of individual Regions, among the most “virtuous” – that is, those which reach or exceed 70% of the municipalities that publish the list – are Liguria (87, 5%), Emilia Romagna (84.4%), Puglia (79.8%) and Piedmont (78.2%). Among those postponed with a percentage below 50%, Basilicata, Calabria, Lazio and Molise.
Specifically, it is worth noting that even the 4 regions stuck with 0 municipalities complying in 2022 (Basilicata, Molise, Trentino and Valle d’Aosta) recorded a leap forward in 2023.
Overall, the data improves in all regions, with significant peaks, considering the regional weight, for Campania, Piedmont and Liguria. Calabria slowly rises from 18.8% to 49.8%. The same goes for Sicily, where, compared to 29.9% in 2022, in 2023 it reached 56.5%. In any case, it is good to remember that these considerations must be read with the utmost caution, given the significant number of confiscated properties that local authorities in these regions are called upon to manage.
There are three provinces that have been assigned confiscated assets that do not publish the list: Crotone, Matera and Messina, while Calabria and Lazio, among the regions monitored, are the only ones that do not publish anything.
