This morning, following a complex asset investigation, the agents of the Anti-Crime Division - Asset Prevention Measures section of the Naples Police Headquarters executed an asset seizure order, issued pursuant to the Anti-Mafia Code, by the Court of Naples - Prevention Measures Section, upon proposal of the Naples Police Chief, against Giuseppe Savino, a 45-year-old with multiple criminal convictions.
Savino, long linked to the Formicola Camorra family of San Giovanni aa Teduccio, specialized in tax fraud carried out through the marketing of petroleum products exempt from VAT because they were apparently intended for export, but in reality sold in Italy; functional to this mechanism was the use of invoices for non-existent transactions, issued by "shell" companies created specifically for this purpose.
Savino, who had already been hit in 2016 by a restrictive measure issued by the GIP of the Court of Catania as the promoter and organizer of an association aimed at evading tax payments on petroleum products, was also the recipient of a further precautionary measure in 2019 by the GIP of the Court of Naples as the organizer of a structured group of people who, from 2012 to 2015, had evaded VAT worth many millions of euros from the Treasury.
Today he was reached by a precautionary custody order in prison issued by the GIP of the Court of Naples as he is investigated for the use of goods of illicit origin committed to facilitate a Camorra-style association, for issuing invoices for non-existent transactions and for fraudulent transfer of assets.
Today's seizure order, which precedes the issuance of the final confiscation measure, had as its object a large amount of assets available to Savino, acquired through the use of money from illicit activities for a total value of approximately 2,5 million euros.
In particular, some warehouse premises in the San Giovanni a Teduccio area and the following companies were seized, all operating in the wholesale trade of petroleum products in Italy and abroad and considered functional to the fraud:
– “GISA TRADING FOOD”, with registered office in Bulgaria;
– “GISA TRADING SRL”, with registered office in Milan;
– “LEADER PETROLI SRL”, with registered office in Naples.
