"Sign Things, Open Accounts"

by Fulvio Fianodi

As a result, 28yearold Roman Camilla Fabri received an arrest warrant for criminal association with the aim of money laundering. She would have “cleaned up” millions of euros for her husband Alex Naim Saab Moran through her family.

It seems difficult that his quote from Nanni Moretti’s “I make things, I see people” was intentional when Camilla Fabri introduced her mother, Sabrina, to the role of the two aunts (the woman’s sisters), which she wanted to interfere in with her help the Affair: “They sign, they open accounts.” But surely the 28yearold exemployee from the Roman suburbs and aspiring showgirl and miss knew what she was doing when, again through her mother, she commissioned them to go on stage in Dubai, Singapore, Paris, Caracas , Istanbul: “First you have to go to Luis Vuitton, Dior. These are the suits, at least four for one, that’s what Alex wants.”

It is a major international money laundering operation, promoted in a strict family administration of figureheads, which was nullified yesterday in the five precautionary detention orders issued by the investigating magistrate of Rome. She, Camilla, factotum in the undercover management of part of her husband’s billion dollar fortune, is abroad, untraceable and will escape house arrest. He, the wealthy 51yearold ColombianLebanese Alex Naim Saab Moran, is being held in the US and would otherwise have ended up in jail, as demanded by prosecutor Francesco Cascini, who coordinated the complex investigation by the Guardia di Finanza. Lorenzo Antonelli (now maybe in Dubai) would also end up in jail, husband of Camilla’s sister Beatrice, who is also under investigation.

Instead, the aforementioned aunts of Fabri, Arianna and Patrizia Fiore, aged 47 and 45 respectively, the only ones present in the capital, go under house arrest. All are charged with criminal association. Saab Moran, a friend of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is on trial in the United States and is being investigated by prosecutors across half of Europe as an alleged “arbitrator” in his illegal enrichment, including through corruption in procuring food aid to the population. Camilla has been campaigning for her husband’s release in Venezuela for the past few months.

Some of his money flowed through Italy, was cleaned, converted into euros and then hidden in Russia (where Moran and Fabri lived for a while and where their second child was born) and in some tax havens. In October 2019, Finance seized a €4.8million apartment on Via Condotti in Rome, bought through a London company but actually owned by the 28yearold. It is now known that the search turned up certificates for 120 kilos of gold that had been deposited in his name at a Swiss bank.

Another 1.8 million euros were confiscated from the current account of an Italian bank. According to investigators, the equivalent of what Fabri’s two aunts would have collected because they acted as figureheads in about thirty companies. Camilla Fabri, summed up the investigating judge, “had a central role in recruiting friends and relatives, in distributing tasks and salaries and in organizing trips”. “Alex is desperately looking for someone like Lorenzo the 28yearold wrote in a chat to her mother in her 30s, also a woman”. And to the woman’s worries about the life that would befall the other daughter Beatrice, Camilla replied: “Don’t worry mommy, the situation is resolved by living in Dubai”.

For aunts Arianna and Patrizia, who “had no experience and became managers of international companies as if by magic, their consideration is 5,000 euros per month plus “prizes of 15,000 euros per occasion (25,000 for Lorenzo and Beatrice). Enough to convince Sabrina, Camilla’s mother, “Wow, that’s so many.” She also volunteers, reminding her sister Patrizia to “print and study nickel and charcoal in English on the plane” to get one To give some semblance of credibility: “Lorenzo also studies gold”.
