Palermo businessman arrested for Superbonus scam at 110%. VIDEO
Explain in brief the following article:
An arrest and a seizure of nearly 3 million euros for a scam on the 110% Superbonus and 110% Sismabonus in Palermo. On delegation from the prosecutor, the finance police of the provincial command carried out the order of the judge for house arrest for an engineer and building contractor accused of fraud against the State, false affidavits issued by the qualified technician, issuance of invoices for non-existent operations, and improper offsetting of non-existent tax credits.
With the same measure, it was decided to preventively seize credits amounting to €1,660,537 and an equivalent seizure of €1,022,117.
The investigations carried out by the Carini barracks have started from a complaint made by a citizen who had hired a professional for the implementation of works for the ismabonus and Superbonus, taking advantage of the 110% facilitation. In reality, the commissioned works were only initiated and then abruptly suspended, as ascertained by the military for at least 7 other properties located in tourist areas, between the provinces of Palermo and Trapani.
By examining the documentation acquired from public offices, banks, and private individuals, light was shed on the acts of the professional-entrepreneur who personally and through his companies held the position of designer engineer, works manager, general contractor to acquire credits and obtain payments. In fact, once commissioned by individuals or condominiums, the suspect entrusted the work to a construction company affiliated with him and proposed to clients to take advantage of the legislative measures for energy efficiency and seismic risk reduction.
After starting the renovations and submitting all the necessary documentation to the competent offices, the professional attested, through false affidavits of the progress of works, to the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development and to the tax offices, to have accrued a tax credit which he then collected from the banks.
To generate tax credits, he issued, through construction companies affiliated with him and as a professional, invoices for nonexistent operations drawn up with the aim of creating the necessary documentation to evade taxes, addressed to unwitting clients. Finally, he used the nonexistent credits to offset tax debts accrued by himself in the course of business activities, by completing tax payment forms. With the measure, 7 real estate units, 7 vehicles, company shares, and other financial assets attributable to him are seized.
