Tax credit fraud: assets seized throughout Italy. The Torre Annunziata Financial Police Group has executed a precautionary seizure order in the amount of €548.157,06 issued by the Preliminary Investigations Judge of the Torre Annunziata Court, at the request of the Oplonti Prosecutor's Office, against four companies with offices in the provinces of Rome (two), Florence, and Cosenza, as well as their legal representatives, under investigation for the crime of undue compensation.
In particular, following tax audits of an LLC linked to a front man with headquarters in Castellammare di Stabia - engaged in the production of rusks, biscuits, preserved pastries - as well as subsequent investigations delegated by the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor's Office, it emerged that the companies subject to the precautionary measure, operating in the construction, logistics or clothing wholesale sectors, had not paid the sums due for the years tax 2020 and 2021, by using as a compensation a non-existent VAT credit claimed by the aforementioned audited company.

The investigations conducted by the Guardia di Finanza (Fiamme Gialle)—according to a statement signed by Prosecutor Nunzio Fragliasso—have uncovered a complex fraudulent scheme underlying the tax evasion scheme. This involved filing a VAT return for 2020 reporting purchases never made by the Castellammare di Stabia-based company, totaling over €48 million, which resulted in a tax credit of over €10 million. This credit was subsequently assigned—through the tax debt assumption system—to numerous companies located throughout the country, beneficiaries of the tax fraud. In light of the findings, a seizure order was issued for the amount of the evaded taxes, corresponding to the profit from the tax crime.
The execution of the seizure order allowed the judicial encumbrance of assets attributable to the companies and the suspects up to the amount ordered, equal to €548.157,06, and affected financial assets amounting to €232.358,76, real estate amounting to €171.848,30, company shares amounting to €116.150, and vehicles amounting to €27.800.
