Fund recovery for German and Swiss investors defrauded from Italy — Firenze
German and Swiss investors who have suffered losses due to fraudulent investment schemes with operational connections to Firenze can pursue recovery through the Italian criminal justice system.
The firm files complaints with the competent Procura, seeks precautionary seizure of Italian-based assets, and coordinates with the client's domestic regulator — BaFin for German investors or FINMA for Swiss investors — to ensure that regulatory action proceeds in parallel with the criminal investigation.
The European Investigation Order framework facilitates the cross-border gathering of evidence between Italy and Germany, while Swiss cooperation follows bilateral mutual legal assistance provisions.
The firm leverages these instruments to ensure that the evidentiary basis for the Italian proceedings is as comprehensive as possible.
