Wide-ranging operation between Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy and Campania: the State Police and the Guardia di Finanza have executed 29 precautionary measures and over 40 searches against individuals accused of being part of a criminal association specialized in issuing false invoices, money laundering and self-laundering in the construction sector.
The provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Modena, Ravenna, Reggio Emilia, Forlì, Rimini, Mantua, Naples and Caserta were involved. Over 100 law enforcement officers were involved. Assets and financial resources worth a total of approximately 3 million euros were seized.
The investigation – launched after a report of suspicious movements by Poste Italiane – was conducted by the Cyber Security Operations Center of Emilia-Romagna with the coordination of the Postal Police Service and the Guardia di Finanza of Bologna. The investigation was led by the public prosecutor Flavio Lazzarini of the Bologna Public Prosecutor's Office.
The organization, according to investigators, would have used shell companies to create a system of tax fraud and illicit reinvestment of proceeds, exploiting the construction supply chain to mask the flow of money.
