Citizenship fraud in Veneto; Brazilians involved

It may seem like old news, but it is not. The Italian State Police launched a new operation last Friday (27) against alleged fraud in procedures for recognition of citizenship by right of blood (jus sanguinis) for Brazilians.

The stage this time is the small town of Piombino Dese (Veneto), with 9,5 inhabitants, where investigators discovered a group of Brazilians who provided false documents to their compatriots.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

According to police, the scheme involved two municipal employees. The suspects are accused of misrepresentation in public acts and illegal introduction of foreign citizens into national territory.

All procedures carried out in the commune in recent years are under suspicion and may be reviewed. The State Police carried out a search and seizure operation at the civil registry office of Piombino Dese and hijacked documentation relating to citizenship procedures.
