The financiers of the Faenza Company executed the order an emergency preventive seizure issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Ravenna, against seven companies and five individuals belonging to a partnership that obtained undue profitsfor further 2 million euros, to the detriment of 650 victims residing in 13 Regions (Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Tuscany, Sicily, Sardinia, Piedmont, Marche, Lombardy, Liguria, Lazio, Emilia-Romagna, Campania, Basilicata).
A provision, today’s, which follows the issue, last December, of four precautionary custody orders in prison carried out by the Fiamme Gialle of Faenza for the crimes of criminal conspiracy, fraud, self-laundering and issuing false invoicesand which is the result of further investigations carried out by the investigators also on the patrimonial side.
According to what was reconstructed by the investigations coordinated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Ravenna, the fraud mechanism was aimed at offering victims of scams the possibility of accessing financing provided by European Union bodies at very advantageous conditions. But to obtain them it was necessary to payment of a sum, by way of preliminary investigation for the practice, to be credited to the bank accounts of companies attributable to the association, based in Rome, Turin, Viareggio and Cagliari. The promised financing for a total amount of approximately 60 million euros, however, never arrivedas European funds turned out to be completely non-existent.
This is what also emerges from the stories of the numerous people interviewed by the investigators, who were deceived from the false prospect of obtaining a incentive to purchase houses, start business ventures or obtain the liquidity necessary to satisfy one’s personal needs.
The companies proposing the aforementioned loans were therefore subjected to seizure, together with all the company assets referable to them. The provision also concerned the financial resources of the suspects up to the amount of the entire illicitly obtained profit.
An investigation born from the work of the Fiamme Gialle of Ravenna to combat any form of illegality carried out, not only to the detriment of the integrity and correct use of public resources, but also of companies that operate loyally on the market and of citizens.
The criminal case is still pending in the preliminary investigation phase.
