Major Tax Credit Fraud Involving Italian Post Office Uncovered

They have transferred to the Italian Post Office tax credits amounting to about 130 million euros, accumulated thanks to the benefits of the 'Relaunch Decree' and relating to building works never carried out in various regions, then making the money received in exchange disappear. This is the accusation against 83 people, six of whom were arrested and taken to prison by the Guardia di Finanza, on the orders of the judge for preliminary investigations of the court of North Naples. The arrested reside in Campania, particularly in Frignano and San Marcellino (Caserta), in Torre Del Greco and Torre Annunziata (Naples), in Pagani and Camerota (Salerno), while the other suspects are in different Italian provinces, including Pordenone and Perugia. The financiers of the Aversa rapid deployment company also seized from 34 suspects 16 million euros, considered the profit of the crime corresponding to what was paid by the Post Office to buy credits, and 48 million in fictitious tax credits to another 35 people under investigation. The crimes alleged are fraud for obtaining public grants and self-laundering. The investigation, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of North Naples, has revealed a system composed of about 50 'paper' companies, existing only on paper, whose legal representatives falsely declared between 2021 and 2022 to have ongoing energy requalification works with the superbonus and of redoing facades of residential buildings located in Abruzzo, Lazio, Molise, Puglia, Lombardy, Piedmont, Marche, Campania, Sicily, Sardinia, Emilia Romagna, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto; 'false' served to access the deductions provided by the Decree and thus accumulate transferable tax credits to third parties and therefore monetizable. The credits were transferred to the Italian Post Office, which was unaware of everything, in exchange for several million euros, which the suspects made disappear through complacent individuals and companies, Italian and foreign, especially Chinese.
