The Guardia di Finanza of Avellino arrested three people in execution of a custodial remand order issued for the crimes of aggravated fraud against the State, money laundering and self-laundering of large tax credits illegally acquired, concerning non-existent construction works included in the so-called Facade Bonus, Eco Bonus and Renovation Bonus.
Furthermore, a preventive seizure order was executed, issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Avellino, up to the amount of 300.885,88, against the suspects and the companies attributable to them, in addition to the "freezing" of the tax credits still present in the tax drawers of the suspects, for a total of 3.815.000 euros.
The investigations by the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Avellino were initiated following a risk analysis from the Control Room, established between the Guardia di Finanza and the Revenue Agency, for the coordination of activities to combat fraud in the area of tax credits generated thanks to the building bonuses provided for by law.
The creation of non-existent tax credits was thus reconstructed, through the certification of renovation works on the facades of an old building in Solofra (Avellino), and the renovations of other buildings in the same municipality for a total sum of over 4 million euros.
In order to conceal their origin, the credits were subsequently transferred several times, including to different parties, who were able to partly convert them into cash at a credit institution, obtaining an undue profit of €300.885,88.
