A luxury yacht valued at an estimated €2.6 million has been placed under preventive seizure in Torre Annunziata as part of an investigation into aggravated smuggling.
According to reporting by Il Mattino, investigators allege a customs irregularity that left approximately €572,000 in duties unpaid. The report connects the alleged irregularity to the vessel's registration in the Cayman Islands.
No further identifying details were provided in the reporting acquired for this article. The yacht's name, ownership structure and flag were not identified, nor was the precise mechanism allegedly used through the Cayman Islands registration.
The case remains at the investigation stage. The seizure is a preventive measure, and the reporting does not establish a final judicial finding of liability. No official statement from the Procura della Repubblica di Torre Annunziata or customs authorities was acquired.
