The financiers of the Brescia Provincial Command carried out emergency seizures, validated by the investigating judge for over 3.5 million euros, relating to works facilitated by the “110% Superbonus” legislation, provided for by the so-called “Relaunch Decree”.
The alleged scam: fictitious credits for work never carried out
The investigations conducted by the soldiers of the Rovato Company have discovered an alleged aggravated fraud against the State, carried out with the generation and subsequent entry into circulation of fictitious tax credits, concerning energy efficiency interventions on various properties, which were in reality never carried out or carried out only partially, in any case beyond the deadlines set by the legislation for the acquisition of the benefit.
The investigative activity arose from a report from the Revenue Agency – Provincial Directorate of Brescia, relating to evident anomalies regarding tax credits generated by a company operating as a General Contractor relating to energy requalification works on condominiums in the province of Brescia. The investigations had already identified presumably fictitious tax credits for approximately 1.6 million euros, subject to seizure, found partly in the tax drawer of the General Contractor and partly in that of the transferees and not yet compensated.
Condominiums in Messina are also under the Finance lens
The investigations have reconstructed a broader system relating to the execution of works, which in reality were not carried out or not completed, on 12 condominiums in the provinces of Naples, Frosinone, Messina and Brescia. A further provision of an additional 1.9 million euros was therefore carried out. Among other things, several properties in the provinces of Rome and Palermo were seized.
Five complaints
Five people were reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Brescia for aggravated fraud to obtain public funds and self-laundering of illicit proceeds, considering that part of the potentially illicit credits had already been assigned to various transferees.
