Three Neapolitans were arrested in the Bahamas and granted bail by a judge, but the Caribbean islands are a tax haven on a blacklist of countries where money transfers are prohibited.

This is the unusual story of three Neapolitan businessmen aged 47, 40, and 31. Despite being released on bail, set by the judge at seven thousand dollars each, they cannot make the transfer from Italy because the Caribbean islands are included in the Revenue Agency's blacklist.

The three have therefore been held in prison for two days in the South American country located between Miami and the island of Cuba.

They had been arrested after being caught by the local police buying and selling goods, such as watches, perfumes and other goods, without a license.

During a search, law enforcement officers found and seized a large sum of money and invoices for the purchase of watches and perfumes from the home where they were staying.

However, the three were unable to show their licenses to the police who, consequently, arrested them on charges of trading without a license.

The lawyer appointed by the families of the three Italians, Amedeo Di Pietro, and the honorary consul general Alberto Suighi have been working for several days to find a solution.
