The finance police of the Provincial Command of Avellino have executed a precautionary measure of custody in prison, ordered by the investigating judge of the local court at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Irpinia capital, against a professional, and the preventive seizure of 1.894.552,00 euros against seven people, including two residents of Rome. The suspects are accused of embezzlement to the detriment of the State, self-laundering and money laundering.
The measure came at the end of complex investigations that revealed suspicious financial movements made by the professional, already under house arrest for other crimes against the State. The investigations focused on a loan supported by the state guarantee of the Guarantee Fund for small and medium-sized enterprises.
According to the authorities, the professional, legal representative of a consultancy firm on safety and hygiene in the workplace, had presented to a credit institution an investment plan for the construction of 15 mobile units used as nursing facilities, for a total value of 2.656.080,00 euros, of which 546.080,00 from own resources. The investment program had been approved and financed for an amount of 2.067.800,00 euros.
However, investigations revealed that the investment program never came to fruition and that the money received was immediately used for personal purposes, such as the purchase of cars, luxury watches, furniture and a pleasure boat. The funds were transferred to relatives and third parties, making it difficult to trace them.
The investigations conducted by the Guardia di Finanza of Avellino have allowed us to precisely trace the financial flows and the real destination of the sums. Prosecutor Domenico Airoma stressed the importance of investigations in detecting fraud and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.
