adminpolice said in a statement.
“It is not enough to put your big car in a relative’s name to trick the inspectors,” said the statement, adding that more than 2 000 people were under investigation for the alleged frauds and that 80 arrests had been made.
The police gave the example of a property developer in Perugia in central Italy spotted “speeding through town” in his Ferrari, Maserati or Mercedes.
The cars — all in his mother’s name — led investigators to uncover hidden revenues from property sales of seven million euros over three years.
The police said they had found a similar case in the town of Terni where a businessman spent the money he defrauded on a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.
In Pescara, they said they were investigating a plumber with three properties, 30 bank accounts and a Ferrari, who faked receipts.
Tax police said they had recovered 4,0 billion euros in the first four months of the year, on top of the 6,0 billion euros announced last week. — AFP.
