Tax Crimes and Money Laundering Exceeding 4 Million: Searches Also in Brescia. The Military Police Unit for Economic and Financial Affairs in Brescia, supported by relevant departments, has conducted an operation that resulted in numerous searches involving 25 individuals, including 11 natural persons and 14 legal entities, engaged in the marketing of non-existent tax credits and related money laundering activities. The operation extended beyond the province of Brescia, reaching cities such as Milan, Rome, and Naples. Investigations have uncovered a sophisticated fraudulent scheme that allowed certain entrepreneurs to unlawfully obtain fictitious VAT credits exceeding 4 million euros.
These credits were transferred through a “shell” company based in Milan, which lacked the necessary authorizations and did not have an adequate operational structure. Among the entities involved, the name of Brescia Calcio S.p.A. emerged, used to reduce the tax burden. During the searches, important documents were seized that are useful for verifying the administrative liability of the implicated companies. The Prosecutor’s Office emphasized that the measures taken are based on solid evidence collected during the investigations, while maintaining the presumption of innocence until the conclusion of the trial.
