Below is a statement released by the Financial Police:

In the last few days the Fiamme Gialle of the Provincial Command of Taranto, as part of the control activity
economy of the area, they identified 40 “illegal” workers and 3 “irregular”. Inspection activities have
affected the municipalities of Taranto, Leporano, Martina Franca, Grottaglie, Massafra, Manduria, Sava, San Marzano
of San Giuseppe, Avetrana, Lizzano, Torricella, Castellaneta and Palagianello. The violations found have
interested in various types of commercial activities, including construction companies, fuel distributors, pubs,
sandwich shops, laundries and rental businesses with driver. In this context, 34 employers were reported
work for the use of illegal labor and in 6 cases the Financial Police requested the competent person
Territorial Labor Inspectorate to issue a measure suspending the activities of companies
inspect.
Furthermore, in the last two months, following further and autonomous interventions conducted to combat tax evasion, i
Ionian financiers have detected over 100 violations of the obligations of storing and sending the fees
electronic (tax receipts). The businesses affected by these violations include present businesses
throughout the province, such as bars, restaurants, butchers, ice cream shops, clothing stores, etc.
Undeclared work and tax evasion constitute a serious obstacle to economic development because they distort the
competition and the allocation of resources, undermine the relationship of trust between citizens and the State and penalize fairness,
taking away space for intervention in favor of the weakest social groups.
Hence the importance of the “surgical” action carried out by the Guardia di Finanza against tax evasion and employment
“black”.
