Avellino. The finance police of the Provincial Command of Avellino have executed a preventive seizure order for confiscation purposes, issued by the GIP of the Court of Avellino, up to the total amount of 5.704.087,93 euros.
The measure was taken against a company in the province of Avellino, active in the road haulage sector, and its sole director.
The Avellino Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the crime of undue tax compensation for the years 2018 to 2022. The investigations, conducted by the military of the Economic-Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Avellino, have revealed a complex fraud mechanism.
This mechanism aimed to offset tax debts with undue tax credits deriving from "Research and Development Projects" carried out by the company between 2017 and 2021.
This circumstantial evidence is supported by the opinion requested from the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, which noted the absence of the innovation requirement required by law to access the tax benefits provided for four research and development projects.
Further information emerged from the risk analysis conducted by the Campania Regional Directorate of the Revenue Agency, from the results of the examination of the acquired documentation, and from information gathered from the employees who participated in the four projects.
The investigations revealed that the company used as a base some tax credits non-related costs, irrelevant expenses and services obtained from companies that had issued invoices for non-existent transactions.
