An operation of the Guardia di Finanza of Crotone ended in the early hours of this morning who brought a local entrepreneur to house arrest, held responsible for bankruptcy a company operating in the catering sector.
The provision of pre -trial detention, issued by the judge for the preliminary investigations of the Court of Crotone at the request of the Public Prosecutor’s Office led by dr. Domenico Guarascio was carried out by the financiers of the Provincial Command of Crotone after months of economic-financial investigations conducted by the economic-financial police unit.
According to what emerged from the investigations – still in the preliminary phase and therefore to be verified in the contradictory with the defense – the entrepreneur would have led his company to the instability through a mechanism that lasted years. Between 2016 and 2023, the company would have accumulated tax debts for over 207,000 euros, up to generating a bankruptcy liabilities of over 1.6 million euros.
Investigators believe that the man, with the collaboration of some family members, has gradually emptied the company, subtracting liquidity and corporate assets to transfer them to a new “mirror” company, established ad hoc and operating in the same sector, always based in Rocca di Neto (KR). This company, now submitted to preventive seizure together with the relative corporate shares, would have been – according to investigators – a mere tool to continue the entrepreneurial activity by circumventing debts and controls.
The investigations of the yellow flames describe a roded system of patrimonial distractions, made of cash and transfers without economic motivation, used for personal and non -corporate purposes. Goods and equipment of the “Bad Company” would also have been sold off at symbolic prices, without the agreed consideration being never actually paid. All this would have led the original society to an inevitable state of insolvency and decoction, in what investigators call a “progressive and deliberate emptying” of corporate accounts.
