The Guardia di Finanza of Campobasso seized tax credits lying in the tax drawers of numerous companies in relation to the hypotheses of aggravated fraud against the State and invoicing for non-existent transactions, for approximately 16,5 million euros.
The operation is part of a complex investigation by the Campobasso Public Prosecutor's Office which proceeded with the seizure following the order of the investigating judge as an epilogue to investigations focused on a complex fraudulent system perpetrated with the use of the accounting of some economic entities also based in Molise.
These simulated the existence of the necessary requirements to obtain the benefits provided by the Relaunch Decree. The de facto directors of two companies based in Campobasso, but resident in the province of Benevento, were reported to the judicial authorities.
The companies created false tax credits for 12,5 million euros by transferring them to cohabiting legal entities and partially monetizing them at Poste Italiane, which was completely unaware of the illicit origin of the money.
The preventive seizure ordered on the assets available to the suspects, aimed at preserving the profits of the crimes for the purposes of subsequent confiscation, fits, explains the prosecutor Nicola D'Angelo, "in the context of the lines of intervention aimed at repressing crimes not yet committed, not only by intervening on the alleged perpetrators but also by attacking the assets that constitute the profit".
