In Castel Volturno, Umoya's floating solariums and bungalows were seized; the venue remains open.

The Castel Volturno Municipal Police have carried out a precautionary seizure in the area of ​​Umoya, the club located in the lake district. The facility remains open and operations continue as normal. The measure concerns only the two floating platforms used as solariums and the bungalows currently under renovation.

Why the seizure of Umoya was triggered

Inspections revealed that the works carried out on the lake lacked the necessary permits. The lakes are state property, and occupying the lake and building structures requires specific authorization from the competent authority.

The Municipal Police also requested a review of the public entertainment license and the permits for catering. As clarified by the agency, the measure did not affect administrative licenses for catering and public entertainment.

What does the provision include?

The seizure concerns the two floating platforms used as solariums and the bungalows under renovation built on the waterfront. The land-based portion of the premises is not mentioned in the order.

The intervention is part of the Municipal Police's efforts to combat illegal building in the area.

The position of Umoya

In an official statement, Umoya clarifies that the facility is open and activities continue as normal : events, festivals, the restaurant, bar, green areas, and the usual services remain fully operational. Access to the floating solariums affected by the measure is temporarily suspended.

The case stems from a complex interpretative issue regarding the legal nature of the body of water, resulting from mining activities and included in the Environmental Recovery Plan for the Territory approved by the Government Commissioner. The organization's lawyers are preparing the documents to ensure the full legality of the affected structures.

The precedent of undeclared workers

This isn't the first time Umoya has come under scrutiny from law enforcement. In recent months, the Guardia di Finanza (Italian Financial Police) identified 19 undeclared workers within the business , imposing a hefty fine on the establishment.

Castel Volturno is one of the towns on the Domitian Coast , an area where controls on commercial activities and occupation of state-owned land have intensified in recent months.

Is the place still open?

Yes, Umoya remains open. The seizure only concerns the floating solariums and bungalows under renovation: events, festivals, the restaurant, bar, and green areas continue as normal, as confirmed by the facility itself.
