Salerno – The owners of the properties involved in those practices for the request of the facade bonus or the ecobonus were unaware.
This is what emerges from an investigation by the Salerno Public Prosecutor's Office, which culminated today with a precautionary seizure of over 7 million euros, ordered by the investigating judge, against a Salerno company involved in a sophisticated tax fraud scheme.
The investigators of the Guardia di Finanza they identified non-existent tax credits, generated by works never carried out, linked to the two building bonuses. However, none of the owners of the properties had ever commissioned the declared works, nor had any connection with the company involved.
In fact, some were not even owners of the assets. From what was reconstructed by the investigators, the fictitious credits, accompanied by invoices for objectively non-existent operations to simulate renovation and energy saving interventions, had been loaded into the company's tax drawer.
Then, they were monetized through immediate transfer to credit institutions or through direct compensation for the payment of taxes.
This led to the issuing of a decree of preventive seizure of the fictitious tax credits still present in the tax drawers of the companies that had purchased them, for a total value exceeding seven million euros, while a residual sum of approximately 500 thousand euros was extinguished because it had already been used as a set-off and, therefore, will be proposed for recovery by taxation to the Revenue Agency.
Three people, who at one time held the position of directors of the company, were reported for aggravated fraud against the State.

I read the article and it seems to me that the situation is very complex. The owners did not know anything about what was happening, and this is worrying. It is important that more in-depth investigations are done to understand how all this could have happened.
