Italian authorities have seized €20 million worth of assets linked to actress Ursula Andress, believed to be proceeds of money laundering connected to a fraud scheme involving her former financial adviser. The assets include properties, vineyards, and artworks in Tuscany. The case stems from Andress's report of financial fraud in Switzerland, with investigations revealing a complex scheme over eight years.
