Money laundering and false invoices: 100 under investigation. Illicit turnover worth millions of euros

The Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza, coordinated by the Reggio Emilia Prosecutor's Office, are executing a precautionary custody order in prison against numerous people who will have to answer for criminal association and tax crimes, false invoicing, international money laundering and self-laundering.

More than 100 people are under investigation between Emilia, Calabria, Campania, Tuscany, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche and Veneto and hundreds of companies are involved. Two accountants and an entrepreneur were also banned.

Fiamme Gialle and the Carabinieri have started searches and seizures worth over 10 million euros, but the turnover discovered exceeds 30 million.

An organization believed to be close to organized crime circles, "specializing" in tax fraud, undue perceptions of public resources, bankruptcy crimes and, indeed, money laundering and self-laundering, has come under the scrutiny of investigators.
