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 singular story that happened to three Neapolitan merchants aged 47, 40, and 31, who, despite having been released on bail, set by the judge at seven thousand dollars each, cannot have the transfer executed from Italy because the Caribbean islands are included in the list of countries in the black list of the Revenue Agency.
The three, therefore, have been in jail for two days in the South American country located between Miami and the island of Cuba. They were arrested because they were caught by the local police selling and buying goods, such as watches, perfumes and other things, without a license.
During a search, the police found and seized a large sum of money and some invoices issued for the purchase of watches and perfumes in the house 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.
