The case of organized group tax evasion submitted to the court

An organized group of nine individuals has been charged with significant tax evasion totaling over €255,000 by falsely claiming non-existent VAT transactions.

The case involves nine individuals accused of manipulating VAT declarations to include fictitious transactions that caused substantial financial loss to the state amounting to €255,584.72. Over a span of two years, these group members facilitated the reporting of non-existent VAT-liable transactions in their companies' declarations to illegally benefit two firms from VAT input tax deductions based on fabricated deals with ten other companies controlled by them. The defendants allegedly registered businesses in their names, opened bank accounts, and operated with the knowledge that actual business activity would not occur, following the directives of the organized group in exchange for compensation.
