The financial police of Messina after months of investigations discovered a maxi tax fraud that according to the accusation allowed the well-known businessman Antonino Giordano of evade a total of more than 15 million euros including VAT, income taxes, penalties and interest.
From this investigation was born the seizure requested by the Prosecutor’s Office and granted by the Gip, worth 6 and a half million euros, which was carried out at night by the yellow flames against the manufacturer.
The investigative activity of the specialists of the Economic-Financial Police Unit has made it possible to acquire a series of tests on tax fraud, which would have been orchestrated using up to 13 companies, some based in Messina and others only formally located throughout the territory. national.
It is a “whirlwind of financial transfers” that is also achieved with the use of the so-called “wooden head”, among the various companies that make up a major group, with the well-known 52-year-old Messina businessman Antonino Giordano at the top , and then the 49-year-old brother, Giacomo Giordano, already participated in the research “Tekno” in the past.
A group that has been operating for years in various commercial sectors: construction, cleaning, transport, hospitality, restaurants and large distribution.
Specifically, the finance companies carried out a comparative analysis of the bank flows and the administrative-accounting documentation of the parent company and the satellite companies, where the diverted financial resources flowed.
According to the research hypothesis, a “complex scheme designed to defrauding the coffers of the hacienda”.
The system provided for the transfer of large sums of money between companies from the current accounts of the tax debtor company, in addition, at that time, the owner of a contract of 13 million euros with a major hospital in northern Italy for cleaning service and sanitation. , to the current accounts of the rest of the group companies. And so the coffers were completely emptied and financial strength was “zero”.
But there is more. According to the finance companies, the business unit that was in charge of the hospital contract was sold to a new company, also attributable to the same group, but for the miserable amount of 20 thousand euros. With the “disappearance” of money and a particularly profitable branch of the company, the compulsory collection procedure for debts accumulated with the tax authorities was definitely compromised.
