Tax dodgers shd pay says Di Maio

(ANSA) - Rome, February 22 - Punishment thresholds on tax evasion will be lowered so that more dodgers are caught, Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Friday.
    "The punishment thresholds for tax dodgers will be lowered again," he said.
    "Evasion is a serious crime, damaging for the State and citizens. I'm happy it is finally being treated as such". Di Maio said the thresholds had "practically tripled" under the former centre-left government of ex-premier Matteo Renzi.
    "We want a just tax system, fair, but those who evade taxes should know that they will pay for the damage they cause everyone".
