Naples, 11 June (LaPresse) – Financial police from the economic and financial police unit in Brescia are carrying out search warrants issued by the Brescia Public Prosecutor's Office against 11 individuals and 14 companies, including Brescia Calcio. The individuals targeted by the personal and local search warrants are believed to be involved in various ways in the marketing of non-existent credits and the subsequent money laundering. The searches are underway in the provinces of Brescia, Milan, Arezzo, Massa Carrara, Rome, Naples, Benevento, Avellino, Caserta, Potenza and Taranto, with the collaboration of the relevant local authorities. The investigations by the Fiamme Gialle (Italian tax police) have revealed a complex fraudulent scheme designed to allow various business figures to benefit unduly from non-existent VAT credits. In particular, the suspects, using tax-evading companies with no operational headquarters and represented by individuals with numerous police records for tax offences, allegedly generated fictitious tax credits amounting to over €4 million. These credits were then transferred, through another “vehicle” company, to various legal entities, including Brescia Calcio Spa, in order to reduce their tax and social security liabilities.
