Assets from the Cosa Nostra leader have been seized in a wide range of countries: Italy, Andorra, Gibraltar, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Monaco, Spain, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands.
Among other things, they include 22 luxury properties in exclusive areas on Spain's Costa del Sol, police say. Three people have been arrested.
Denaro - also known as "the last godfather" - was one of the most ruthless leaders of the Sicilian Mafia. Notably, the murders of anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992 caused an outcry, as did the kidnapping and murder of the 12-year-old son of a witness in the Falcone case.
The mafia boss was arrested in 2023, after 30 years on the run from justice. He died a few months later.
