Overview
- The Guardia di Finanza executed a preventive seizure at Via Anfiteatro 7 on a decree by investigating judge Mattia Fiorentini, stopping construction and sales.
- Those under investigation include developers Carlo and Stefano Rusconi of RS Srl, architect Marco Emilio Cerri, and members of Milan’s Commissione Paesaggio.
- Investigators contest the classification as a ristrutturazione despite years with the site empty, citing Consiglio di Stato guidance that demolition and reconstruction must be contextual.
- The decree cites alleged falsification, unlawful lotting, understated urbanization charges, and illicit volume increases, and it rejects any claim of builders’ good faith as “mere speculation.”
- The luxury project comprises two buildings of 4 and 11 floors for 27 apartments priced from about €660,000–€700,000, and reports differ on whether prior structures were demolished in 2006 or 2016.
