TURIN (ITALPRESS) – The Turin Finance Police, following a
a tax audit against a Canavese company, currently in liquidation, identified, cleverly concealed in digital form within the company’s computer systems, a “parallel” accounting, thanks to which it was possible to reconstruct purchases and sales of more than 54,000 tons of ferrous material carried out “off the books” by the Company, for a countervalue of about 10 million euros (more than half of which, moreover, settled in cash, in violation of the regulations on currency circulation).
The investigations of the military have also made it possible to ascertain that the transfers of ferrous materials (all waste products, considered by the current legislation as waste) had been carried out without complying with the requirements imposed by environmental regulations, as well as in the absence of the conformity and traceability requirements provided by national and European legislation.
A total of 51 directors of companies (in particular, 4 of the Canavese company inspected and 47 of other economic entities), operating mainly in northern Italy, are suspected for various reasons of the crime hypothesis of criminal association aimed at the illegal trafficking of waste, unauthorized waste management activities and concealment or destruction of accounting documents such as “waste forms” and related transport documents.
In their regard, the Judicial Authority proceeded to issue the notice of conclusion of preliminary investigation.
Finally, with regard to the persons believed to be promoters of the criminal syndicate (the 4 Canavese administrators plus 1 from Brianza), the Public Prosecutor’s Office has already requested their committal for trial before the Judge for Preliminary Investigations.
