After a previous investigation, 91 individuals were convicted in November 2022 for fraudulently receiving more than 5m (4.3m) in subsidies between 2010 and 2017.
Investigators involved in the original investigation said mafia clans had obtained the funds thanks to the help of white-collar workers who had enabled members to negotiate the bureaucratic world of EU funding.
