Overview
- Guardia di Finanza officers executed an urgent preventive seizure ordered by the Nola prosecutor’s office and validated by a judge, targeting seven people and three companies.
- Investigators say contractors claimed unfinished or poor‑quality works as complete using false certifications to mint fictitious tax credits that were then sold at cut prices.
- About 100 residents in two Casalnuovo di Napoli condo blocks reported credits in their tax accounts despite incomplete works, which triggered the inquiry.
- The seizure blocked roughly €3 million still sitting in taxpayers’ “cassetti fiscali,” and it froze assets including over 30 properties in Naples and Taranto, nine cars, stakes in 14 firms worth about €500,000, and €80,000 in cash.
- The probe maps a network across Campania, Emilia‑Romagna, Puglia, Piemonte, and Toscana, with authorities now tracing how the credits moved through the secondary market to limit losses for the state and protect buyers.
