The Guardia di Finanza of Rome has discovered "a huge tax evasion carried out by consortium companies and cooperatives operating in the transport, porterage, cleaning and private security sectors". The operation was carried out by the financiers of the special currency police unit, as part of an investigation coordinated by the Rome prosecutor's office.
The Fiamme Gialle explain in a note that preventive searches and seizures of assets for hundreds of millions of euros (real estate, companies and financial relationships) are underway on the national territory against 62 suspects. The alleged offenses include the use of invoices for non-existent transactions, fraudulent bankruptcy and money laundering.
