Italian authorities seize millions in separate tax fraud investigations

Italian authorities have executed significant asset seizures targeting companies suspected of large-scale tax fraud. In Turin, the Guardia di Finanza seized assets exceeding one million euros from a road transport company and its administrators. The investigation revealed that between 2021 and 2025, the firm submitted false declarations to obtain fraudulent tax credits for commercial diesel, avoiding over one million euros in energy product taxes and improperly using credits to offset 900,000 euros in tax debts.

In a separate operation in Grosseto, authorities seized over 36 million euros from a general contractor and its administrator suspected of defrauding the state through the ‘Superbonus 110%’ building renovation scheme. Investigators found that the company allegedly inflated construction costs to generate non-existent tax credits. These credits were then sold to financial operators for cash or used to compensate tax debts. The company had seen its turnover rise to over 100 million euros in a short period through contracts with 345 clients.
