In just over a year, from 1 January 2021 to February 2022, more than 5 million euros ended up in the pockets of people who received citizenship income without being entitled to it.

This was discovered by the carabinieri in Sardinia, Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche, framed in the “Podgora” Interregional Command, and the local Labor Inspectorate Units who reported 955 people.

Various false declarations to obtain the subsidy: those who had failed to declare ownership of real estate from which they received income, those who had falsely declared the composition of the family unit, those who had a false place of residence, who had still failed to declare precautionary measures at your own expense.

Out of 9,575 people checked in total, 955 irregularities were found, about 10%. Among those reported there are 472 foreigners, almost half, and 584 people already known to the police.

In total, 5,245,341 euros were unduly received.

In Sardinia , out of 3,260 people checked, 163 were reported, with 863,670 euros of income unduly received.

In the other Regions: Lazio, 543 reported and unduly received income equal to 3,116,522 euros; Tuscany, 153 reported and 636,998 euros stolen from the state; Marche, 67 reported and damage to the tax authorities from 450,075; Umbria, 29 reported and 178,075 euros of income received without being entitled to it.

“Fundamental - reads a note from the carabinieri - was the institutional synergy with the INPS which provided its collaboration with the weapon. The social security institution, which has already been notified of the offenses ascertained, will also be responsible for initiating the procedure for the recovery of the total sum unduly received ".
