Avellino's Municipal Police seized a swimming pool under construction on 29 October 2026 after finding that it had allegedly been built without the required building authorization.
According to a report by IrpiniaNews, officers determined that the pool had been constructed without a building permit or other authorizing title. The checks were reportedly carried out with the involvement of the municipal Technical Office, which found no authorization or start-of-works notification for the project.
The property owner and the project commissioner were reported at liberty to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Avellino. The alleged offense is linked to Italy's Consolidated Building Act, D.P.R. 380/2001.
The Municipal Police said targeted checks against unauthorized construction would continue, including in residential areas.
The report does not identify the exact residential area, the pool's dimensions, or the property owner, and it does not state the subsequent judicial outcome or any administrative remediation. The account is based on a single local-press report; no independent official statement was available.
