ROME (AP) — Police have seized construction companies, apartments, villas and a yacht belonging to a businessman who authorities allege consorted with a Mafia-like gang in Rome with ties to local politicians.

The seizure strikes another blow to an organization investigators say was headed by a local crime boss who was a far-right domestic terrorist in past decades.
