Finance police on Wednesday
arrested eight people in the southern Campania region and in the
northern Lombardy region over an alleged international crime
ring involving a tax fraud worth an estimated 300 million euros.
Seven firms based in Italy, four in Hungary, one in Romania
and another one in Switzerland allegedly issued fake invoices to
avoid paying taxes.
Eight people, including an entrepreneur and an accountant,
were arrested as part of the investigation carried out by
prosecutors and finance police in the central Italian city of
Perugia.
The suspects face charges including aggravated criminal
conspiracy aimed at a transnational tax fraud.
A total of over 42 million euros have been confiscated from
the suspects and over 31 million from the companies involved in
the alleged scam.
