Homeless people were used as front
persons in a huge transnational fraud scheme based in Campania,
the region around Naples, police said Tuesday.
False invoices worth some 500 million euros were issued in
the scam, police said.
Some 49 people were placed under investigation.
Police seized some 83 million euros in assets from the
alleged gang.
One of the homeless persons, a man living in a tent at
Gianturco on the outskirts of Naples, was "responsible" for
millions of euros in fake invoices, police said.
