Italy Confiscates €20M in Assets Linked to Alleged Embezzlement from Ursula Andress

Funds illicitly taken from the 90-year-old actress Ursula Andress have been traced to various properties, vineyards, and olive groves across Tuscany. Italian authorities have officially seized assets valued at €20 million (approximately £17.3 million) in the region, including real estate and agricultural land. These acquisitions are suspected to have been made with money misappropriated from the iconic actress.

Andress, 90, had previously lodged a complaint in her native Switzerland, citing a “progressive and significant depletion of her assets” by individuals responsible for her financial management. This information was confirmed in a statement released Thursday by Italy’s financial crimes police.
