The Braga Court sentenced the manager of a Braga company to three and a half years in prison, with a suspended sentence, for a “fiscal engineering plan” that harmed the State by 103,500 euros in IRC terms.
In a note published on his page, the Porto District Attorney General affirms that the suspension of the sentence is subject to the condition of payment of that amount.
In the process, the company was sentenced to a fine of 680 days, at a rate of 120 euros per day, for a total of 81,000 euros.
The defendants were convicted of a crime of qualified tax fraud and a crime of money laundering.
Through a judgment of September 18, the court found it proven that the defendant “devised a plan” to artificially inflate the costs of the company, based in Braga, of which he was president of the board of directors.
The scheme consisted of integrating fictitious invoices issued by another UK-based company into the company’s accounting, “as if they corresponded to work or services actually rendered”.
“Although these fictitious invoices were apparently paid, the issuing company subsequently transferred the amounts of these payments to an offshore company based in Carson City, United States of America, which in turn returned them to the defendant’s account.” he adds. Court.
With this scheme, the defendant company stopped paying the State the total amount of 103,500 euros, as IRC for the years 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2011.
The defendant was also ordered to hand over to the State the amount of 97.23 euros, which was declared lost because it corresponded to incongruous assets, that is, incompatible with his legal and fiscally declared income, allegedly derived from criminal activity.
