Italian authorities have seized €20m (£17.3m) of assets in Tuscany, including property, vineyards and olive groves, allegedly bought with money embezzled from the actor Ursula Andress. Andress, 90, had filed a complaint in her native Switzerland alleging a “progressive and significant depletion of her assets” by individuals charged with managing her finances, Italy’s financial crimes police said in a statement on Thursday.

The money was traced to Italy, where prosecutors in Florence took up the case and police began following the paper trail. That performance opposite Sean Connery launched a career in film and television that lasted for more than two decades.
