Tax evading influencers targeted by the Guardia di Finanza who discovered three total tax evaders and one of these Neapolitans also received citizen's income.
In fact, the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Ravenna carried out in-depth financial investigations based on a report of suspicious banking transactions involving money laundering sent by the Special Unit of the Currency Police of Rome against 21 people who were found to have moved significant amounts of liquid assets over time or to have received frequent foreign transfers, even though they were formally unemployed.
Following this activity, having reconstructed the financial flows and having heard the people involved in various capacities, it was ascertained that the bank movements were connected to the influencer and content creator activity carried out by 3 of the people reported through primary platforms and social channels and well-known websites.
The three network professionals therefore received the fees due to them from the foreign administrative offices of the same social networks and other compensation, including through top-ups of Postepay cards, from their followers and fans for the purchase of various contents (photos, videos, chats, live streaming, etc.), all "strictly under the table", in total tax evasion.
The services performed were therefore traced back to a self-employed artistic-professional activity, thus proceeding to quantify the income illegally evaded from taxation, estimated at approximately 400.000 euros for the years 2020 and 2021 alone.
For one person, resident in Ravenna, a specific report of findings was drawn up and sent to the competent Revenue Agency, while for the other two tax evaders a specific report was forwarded to the territorially competent Guardia di Finanza departments, i.e. Rome and Naples.
For one of these, now resident in the Naples area, it was also ascertained that he was included in a family unit that was a recipient of citizen's income for over 16.000 euros, which in reality, in the case of the regular declaration of income received, estimated at over 150.000 euros, would not have been due.
Based on what was discovered, the recipient of the undue benefit was reported to the competent INPS office for the revocation of the benefit and the recovery of what has been paid out so far.
