Jet owner fails to pay taxes claiming he is 'destitute'

(ANSA) - Turin, September 26 - Finance police in the northern city of Turin on Monday said they have pressed charges against a 38-year-old entrepreneur in the agricultural sector who did not file tax returns claiming he had no property or income, although he owned a plane, eight homes and as many bank accounts and 137 plots of land.
    Tax police said he had failed to declare revenues worth 750,000 euros and had evaded taxes for an additional 250,000 euros.
    Investigators have asked prosecutors in the city of Ivrea near Turin to seize assets worth 260,000 euros, reportedly owned by the entrepreneur, whose identity has not been released.
