In two separate operations, the Guardia di Finanza has seized over 33 million euros in tax credits in Brescia, deemed fraudulent and part of a tax evasion scheme. The actions were carried out under the authority of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and were validated by the Preliminary Investigating Judge. Investigations revealed that two companies—one officially dissolved and the other a total tax evader since its inception—falsely claimed the right to convert activities for prepaid taxes recorded in their financial statements into tax credits, generating a transferable credit amounting to approximately 20 million euros.
In a second investigative context, an additional 13 million euros in credits held by a company in judicial liquidation were blocked. Despite a court order, these credits were about to be transferred again. The precautionary measures were deemed necessary to prevent the introduction of these fictitious credits into the legal economic circuit, which could potentially be used for improper tax offsets. Investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators of the fraud and to assess the awareness of those involved in offsetting credits derived from sources confirmed to be fraudulent.
