LECCE – The House Solution Solar company in Poggiardo was created specifically to take advantage of the incentives linked to tax bonuses. And essentially to defraud the State by virtue of construction work that was not completed or never carried out. The investigating judge of Lecce, Silvia Saracino, puts it in black and white in the over 500 pages with which she ordered the preventive seizure of the company and of over 42 million euros which ended up in the corresponding tax drawer as a tax credit.
In addition to the legal representative Fabio Cursano – subjected for a year to a ban from contracting with the public administration and carrying out entrepreneurial activities – there are eleven professionals, engineers and accountants between Bari and Lecce, involved in the investigation.
This is Giuseppe Emanuele Boffola, a 43-year-old engineer, native of Bari but resident in Lecce; Gialuca Forte, 47 years old, from Tricase, engineer; Pietro Vincenzo Mastrolonardo, 69 years old, from Bari, engineer; Francesco Murrone, 43 years old from Caprarica (Lecce), engineer; Pasquale Paccione, 38 years old, from Mola di Bari, surveyor; Mattia Scolozzi, 32 years old, engineer from Lecce; Vito Acquafredda, 59 years old, accountant from Monopoli; Giacomo Rocco Carluccio, 65 years old, accountant from Poggiardo; Giuseppe Sabatelli, 63 years old, accountant from Monopoli; Giuseppe Settanni, 45 years old, accountant from Triggiano; Francesco Spagnolo, 52 years old, from Carmiano. The various charges are of criminal conspiracy aimed at the undue receipt of public funds (crime for which nine suspects are charged), embezzlement and forgery.
It all stems from an inspection carried out in August 2022 by Maglie’s management of House Solution. The financiers examined the invoices issued to hundreds of clients who had requested access to the Superbonus: it emerged that the subsequent tax credit was transferred to the company which in turn transferred it to third parties (mostly banks) , collecting money quickly. The investigations revealed the irregularity of 29 practices, as they related to works not carried out or carried out only partially. Then came the complaints from other clients: they complained that, contrary to what had been agreed, the planned works had never been completed, since the company limited itself to delivering them only the material: air conditioners, heat pumps, thermal frames and photovoltaic panels. The customers then reported that they learned only subsequently from the issuing of tax documents in their name, that the company had already activated the procedure for recognizing legal deductions for the acquisition of tax credits relating to amounts that the plaintiffs themselves they would have ignored. In other cases, however, they would have said that they had never signed the relevant contracts.
