Luxury cars and boats among items seized over widespread VAT fraud scheme, says European prosecutor
Italian authorities and their European counterparts have arrested 43 people and seized assets worth €520mn including luxury cars and boats in a crackdown on an alleged tax fraud scheme run by Italian mafia groups. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office, which led the investigation, said members of several Italian criminal groups came together to run a complex and “highly profitable tax evasion scheme”. The scheme, dubbed a “VAT carousel fraud”, involved invoices for €1.
Of those arrested on Thursday, 34 have been sent to prison to await trial, while nine are under house arrest, authorities said. In addition to the 43 people held in Italy, seven European arrest warrants were issued for suspects in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Spain and non-EU countries.
