The Guardia di Finanza has carried out six arrests in Brescia in connection with a case of extortion and kidnapping, linked to tax fraud. The operation, coordinated by the District Attorney’s Office, involved collaboration with Swiss authorities and the European Union Agency for Judicial Cooperation. The suspects are accused of engaging in extortionate conduct against an entrepreneur, seizing assets worth over 1.5 million euros. Additionally, a seizure of over 28.5 million euros has been ordered, stemming from a well-established tax evasion scheme.
The investigations, initiated in December 2021, have uncovered illegal activities related to the management of construction companies and the fraudulent use of non-existent tax credits. Nine prohibitory measures have also been issued against entrepreneurs and professionals from Brescia involved in tax offenses amounting to nearly 1.5 million euros. Currently, searches are underway both in Italy and abroad, supported by approximately 200 personnel and specialized canine units trained in locating cash.
