The Carabinieri Corps and Intesa Sanpaolo join forces

to prevent and combat financial fraud

 

Rome, 14 July 2025 – A Memorandum of Understanding was signed today between the Carabinieri Corps and Intesa Sanpaolo, represented respectively by the Commander General Gen. C.A. Salvatore Luongo and General Antonio De Vita, Chief Security Officer of Intesa Sanpaolo, to promote the prevention and fight against financial fraud.

The collaboration between the Carabinieri Corps and Intesa Sanpaolo aims to implement initiatives that enhance the security of branch employees and prevent and combat financial fraud affecting the elderly and individuals experiencing hardship, vulnerability, or fragility. It also includes the organisation of targeted training and information activities, such as conferences, seminars, workshops, interviews, podcasts, videos, posters, and promotional events.

This agreement is part of a broader set of actions by the Carabinieri Corps aimed at:

• Promoting a culture of legality and safety through educational and training initiatives designed to raise awareness and attention to social and criminal phenomena that hinder the country’s social, economic, and democratic development.
• Developing preventive strategies and actions to combat crimes against the elderly and other vulnerable victims, with particular attention to financial fraud.

This synergy with the Carabinieri Corps further strengthens Intesa Sanpaolo’s commitment to ensuring customer security across both digital and physical channels throughout Italy, supported by the implementation of innovative technological solutions and ongoing staff training.

The Memorandum falls within the established collaboration framework between institutions and banks, as set out in the “Memorandum of Understanding between the Italian Banking Association and the Ministry of the Interior” for the prevention of fraud, particularly financial fraud against the elderly and the most vulnerable, and the “Memorandum of Understanding for the Prevention of Crime against Customers and Banks,” promoted by the Italian Banking Association (ABI) at all Prefectures.

The official website of the Carabinieri Corps – long engaged in combatting fraud against vulnerable individuals – hosts a dedicated section offering useful advice on how to prevent and recognise such fraud, available at:
