Italian authorities said Thursday they had seized 20 million euros of assets in Tuscany, including property, vineyards and olive groves, allegedly bought with money embezzled from Bond Girl actress Ursula Andress.

Andress, now 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.
