An investigation conducted by the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Naples North and by the Guardia di Finanza of Caserta led to the request for the indictment of forty-three people involved in criminal activity related to tax fraud and money laundering.
The investigations uncovered a complicated network of “missing trader” companies involved in fraudulent operations that generated tax fraud of over 18 million euros, which was then reinvested in the legal financial circuit.
The investigation began with the seizure of 90 tons of lubricating oil in a warehouse in Castel Volturno, attributable to a “missing trader” company involved in illegal purchases of petroleum products destined for the national black market.
The illicit proceeds obtained were reinvested in entrepreneurial activities in the Campania region, generating tax evasion of over 2 million euros in excise duties and 2 million in VAT.
The criminal association was also active in the fraudulent marketing of cars and spare parts, using shell companies to interpose sales without VAT between EU sellers and national buyers, generating VAT evasion of over 4 million euros. The investigative activities have highlighted the complexity of a complex criminal mechanism that is harmful to the state coffers.
