More than 1.6 billion ($2.6 billion) worth of assets have been seized from a family of five Sicilian pensioners in one of Italy's largest anti-Mafia operations in 20 years, say Italian police.
The three brothers and two sisters, described as "business people", allegedly received help from the island's Cosa Nostra Mafia to win construction contracts related to public works.
About 800 buildings - including houses and factories - motor vehicles and dozens of bank accounts have been seized from Carmelo Virga, 66, his brothers Vincenzo, 78, and Francesco, 71, and sisters Anna, 76, and Rosa, 68.
Adelmo Lusi, from Italy's Anti-Mafia Investigation Department (DIA), said: "The sum is enormous for a family that until 30 years ago was made up of carpenters, labourers and housewives."
The seizure is the first stage in the investigation process. The family, from Marineo in the suburbs of Sicilian capital Palermo, have not been arrested.
