Benevento – The military personnel of the Guardia di Finanza of Montesarchio have executed a precautionary seizure order, ordered by the GIP of the Court of Benevento, against three companies in the construction sector with headquarters in Bonea, Arpaia and Montesarchio, in the province of Benevento.
The measure, aimed at direct and equivalent confiscation, affects sums of money available to companies and their directors, accused of issuing and using invoices for non-existent transactions and failure to file VAT declarations.
The operation stems from an investigation coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Benevento and conducted by the Fiamme Gialle of Montesarchio. The investigations revealed a system of fictitious invoicing, orchestrated to inflate costs and obtain undue tax deductions.
At the center of the story, a company without an actual headquarters, personnel and means, established by a legal representative - recipient of citizen's income - with the sole purpose of issuing false invoices.
The company, which lacked accounting documentation and was in default on tax declarations and payments, allegedly had exclusive commercial relationships with two other companies, related to the directors by family ties.
The investigations revealed a fraudulent mechanism: the invoices, relating to the sale of goods and labor services, implied the existence of materials and resources that the issuing company did not possess or could not document.
The seizure, amounting to approximately 450 thousand euros, aims to recover the damage to the Treasury caused by tax evasion. A hard blow to an illicit business that exploited the construction sector to evade taxes, now under the scrutiny of the Guardia di Finanza.

This article is very interesting, but there are some things that I do not understand well. Why do companies make these fake invoices? I hope that the authorities act right to stop these bad practices and recover the lost money.
