The military personnel of the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Naples have executed a preventive seizure order issued by the GIP
of the Court of Naples, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office.The seizure concerns the financial assets of two spouses investigated for complicity in fraudulent bankruptcy and of their daughter for a total value of 4,2 million euros, together with a personal and local search warrant issued by the prosecutor.
The actual precautionary measure originates from multiple distracting conducts carried out between 2017 and 2022 by the administrator/liquidator of a company in Naples carrying out the activity of electricity production, during the period of liquidation of the company until the opening of the bankruptcy proceedings.
Although the liquidator could only carry out the actions necessary to cease the activity, the main defendant continued to operate on the market through operations largely aimed at emptying the coffers of the company - already in a clear state of bankruptcy - in favor of himself and his family members.
Wife hired with a contract of 12 thousand euros per month and daughter for 6 thousand
In particular, he hired non-technical figures in the electrical system maintenance sector, including his wife (beneficiary of a permanent contract with a gross monthly salary of 12,3 thousand euros and a 50 thousand euro entry bonus) and his daughter (paid monthly with 5,7 thousand euros gross, in addition to a 30 thousand euro entry bonus).
He also entered into ordinary and extraordinary maintenance contracts between the company in liquidation and another family business, transactions without causal justification - given that the latter acted as a mere formal intermediary, not directly carrying out the maintenance of the systems but entrusting it to third parties, only to then, together with his wife, renounce collecting the substantial accrued credit (709,8 thousand euros at the end of 2022), after the opening of the bankruptcy proceedings, thus revealing a total mixing of interests between the managed companies.
Finally, to complete the picture of the concrete evidence of the crime of bankruptcy, there are numerous transfers of significant amounts and without causal justification made from the accounts of the company in liquidation to those of the investigated spouses and their daughter, for a significant total amount of 971,3 thousand euros.
The distracting conduct described above contributed to causing a huge bankruptcy liability, ascertained - at the time of opening the judicial liquidation procedure - in over 10,8 million euros. At the same time as the seizure, searches were carried out on the suspects and 12 companies attributable to them.
