An investigation conducted by the Guardia di Finanza of Forlì led to the house arrest of three people involved in a fraud scheme involving building bonuses.
Investigations revealed that approximately 40 people, residing in six Italian regions – Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Campania, Puglia, Molise and Calabria – obtained over 7.3 million euros in tax credits relating to the “Facade Bonus”, using false invoices of over 10 million euros, and then monetized them through the transfer to a credit institution.
The financiers found that the proceeds were transferred to companies attributable to people who, in turn, transferred the money to foreign accounts to make it disappear.
The Fiamme Gialle carried out a preventive seizure of approximately 5.9 million euros.
Furthermore, during the investigations, it emerged that none of the properties associated with the bonus requests had been affected by the building renovation and that the person requesting the benefit was not even the owner of the same properties.
The suspects are accused of having played key roles in the fraud scheme, recruiting, designing or facilitating the fraudulent operations.
