Tax crimes, the Guardia di Finanza of Caserta arrests an entrepreneur and his financial advisor, a city councilor in Casagiove (Caserta). Precautionary prison measures for the two executed this morning, as ordered by the investigating judge of the Naples court, with consequent preventive seizure of assets worth over 6 million euros.
Rewinding the tape, the investigation began in February 2022, when the two people had been the recipients of a precautionary interdiction measure (temporary ban on exercising, respectively, entrepreneurial and professional activity) following an investigation in which serious evidence had emerged, according to the investigators, regarding their involvement in a complex fraud scheme aimed at tax evasion.
According to the prosecution, the entrepreneur (active in the logistics sector within the Interporto Sud Europa in Marcianise, Caserta), under the 'direction' of his tax advisor, would have unduly benefited from significant tax savings (non-deductible costs for a value of over 40 million euros for direct tax purposes and non-deductible VAT for a value of over 8,6 million euros) thanks above all to the systematic use of fictitious accounting documentation, including over 2.600 invoices for non-existent transactions issued by so-called shell companies specifically set up.
During the subsequent investigations, new elements emerged in relation to other crimes: self-laundering, false accounting, documentary and fraudulent bankruptcy, undue perception of public funds and undue compensations carried out using non-existent credits. According to investigators, the two continued to operate in the same sector, through a new economic entity specifically created and registered under front men, obtaining illicit profits of over 6 million euros. Both are being held in prison in Poggioreale (Naples).
