A life of luxury, but for the taxman it was (almost) invisible: 2.2 million seized from an entrepreneur

A life immersed in luxury but not for the Revenue Agency. There was a chasm between what he reported to the tax authorities and his standard of living. That overly wealthy life aroused the suspicions of the Guardia di Finanza, who began to investigate. And for that entrepreneur from Brianza - who in the past had already been convicted of fraudulent transfer of assets and fraudulent bankruptcy, with pending charges for criminal-tax offences and financial abuse - the preventive seizure of movable and immovable assets, financial resources and company shares for an estimated value of over 2.2 million euros was triggered. The entrepreneur subject to the provision, as reported by AdnKronos , is Cesare Longoni.

The villa, the land, the cars and the bank accounts

It was carried out by the Guardia di Finanza of Milan. The provision was issued by the Court of Milan - Autonomous Section for Prevention Measures - at the end of economic-patrimonial investigations coordinated by the DDA and carried out by the military of the Economic-Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of the Milanese capital.

Six buildings (including a villa) and three plots of land located in the Milan area and in the provinces of Monza and Brianza, Lecco, Como and Cagliari, three cars, three bank accounts, the contents of a safety deposit box, a real estate company based in Milan and the shares in two joint-stock companies were seized.

Tax crimes and tax debt

From the investigations carried out, the financial police have detected a significant disproportion between the income declared by the entrepreneur and his standard of living. Significant assets that would have been accumulated over the years thanks to the proceeds "deriving from the serious crimes committed in the time frame affected by the manifestation of social dangerousness", as stated in the official note. Furthermore, it emerged that the man would have instrumentally used several companies to commit tax crimes, accruing a significant debt to the treasury.

The operations to take possession of the seized assets by the judicial administrator appointed by the Autonomous Section for Prevention Measures of the Court of Milan are underway.
