Six people have been cited for tax
fraud in relation to a multi-million euros scam at a popular
tourist holiday resort on the coast near Rome, it emerged on
Tuesday.
Investigators said the suspects redirected earnings at a
'country club' in the Castel Fusano State nature reserve to
foreign bank accounts via companies in Bulgaria and
Liechtenstein.
In this way the club is believed to have evaded the Italian
taxman to the tune of several million euros.
Further, investigators reportedly discovered concealed VAT
bills worth one million euros and false invoices running to 2.2
million euros.
In addition, they said the club made unlawful use of
provisions for the temporary employment of 149 EU nationals in
order to avoid paying their State social security contributions
in Italy.
