SCovered in Naples elderly man with 914 cars. Fictitious vehicle registration: State Police officers report sixty-five year old
On the night of July 6, 2022, the driver of a Volkswagen Golf, with his face covered by a balaclava, at the sight of a patrol of the Highway Police on the GRA of Rome, fled, abandoning the vehicle which was then seized because the officers had found several burglary tools inside.
Following further investigations, thanks to the Investigation System used by the Police, it emerged that the vehicle was to be searched for for criminal acts that occurred in the city of Bologna. Furthermore, the car was registered to a limited liability cooperative company with registered office in Novara, engaged in the wholesale trade of hardware, whose sole director is a 65-year-old man with no fixed abode.
Again, thanks to the support of other departments of the State Police, the investigators of the Fuorigrotta Highway Police Subsection tracked down the administrator of the aforementioned company in Naples and, after the initial investigations, ascertained that against him there were 3 reports of being found due to being untraceable in the Municipality of residence, i.e. Novara, since 2020.
In this circumstance, the investigators also found that, in reality, the man is the sole director and legal representative of another company, engaged in the sale of cars.
The identity card, exhibited by the same person, which was found to have been used numerous times at car registration agencies for fictitious vehicle registration, was withdrawn and sent to the municipality of Novara for subsequent cancellation.
The investigations carried out, by connecting the requests for tracing numerous vehicles owned by the aforementioned companies, entered into the Investigation System by various Police offices located throughout the country, with the checks carried out in the PRA and MCTC Databases, have brought to light a series of fictitious registrations of the same, used in fact to commit and/or facilitate the commission of criminal and administrative offences on a national scale.
In particular, the fictitious registrations of 914 vehicles were checked.
For these illegal acts, the company administrator was reported and charged with violations of the Highway Code for a total amount of 496.302 euros, pending automatic cancellation from the PRA.
Finally, the drivers of the vehicles themselves, at the time of a police check, will have their vehicle seized for confiscation and their registration document withdrawn.
Further investigations of a fiscal-administrative nature are underway, given that both companies have never been found to have generated profits, filed tax returns or made communications for VAT purposes.
