On the part of the Ligresti family there was a 'concrete risk' of fleeing, as 'each of them' owns 'huge assets capable of providing them with the necessary means to leave the national territory and move the center of their activities to other countries '. This is what the Gip of the Turin court writes in the precautionary custody order against Salvatore Ligresti and his three children: Jonella, Giulia and Paolo. Limbo, Canoe, Hike: these are the safes of the Ligresti brothers in Luxembourg which guaranteed control of the Fonsai group and which, according to the judiciary, would have provided the funds to prepare for the escape, through 'anomalous reductions in capital'.
From the documents consulted by Radiocor, last December each of the three holding companies actually decided to cut the capital by 14,5 million, for a total of 43,5 million, officially to liquidate the accumulated losses. Based on the minutes of the Limbo shareholders' meeting of last December 13, the company decided to reduce the capital by 14,5 million, bringing it 'from 16,78 million to 2,3 million to liquidate the losses reported which represent the situation as at 30 September 2012, i.e. 15,5 million euro, after deducting the profits emerging on that same date, i.e. 1,06 million'. Similar reports from the other two holdings, Canoe and Hike. According to the order by the Gip of Turin, 'the concreteness of the danger of escape' is also testified by the circumstance whereby the Ligrestis have recently implemented each of the anomalous capital reductions (to be understood as possible withdrawals of money) for substantial funds (approximately 14 million euros) by the Luxembourg companies respectively referable to them'.
