tax fraud aesthetic salon ANAF financial irregularities Bucharest

In Bucharest, the General Directorate for Fiscal Anti-Fraud (DGAF) conducted an audit of an aesthetic services salon following a fiscal risk analysis. The investigation revealed significant irregularities, including the misclassification of service income as company loans and the deduction of personal expenses and VAT for luxury vehicles valued at over 335,000 euros. As a result, the administrator paid 905,212 lei to the state budget to cover additional tax obligations exceeding 537,000 lei.

Separately, a man in Bucharest has been sent to trial for continuous fraud. Between March 2021 and June 2022, he allegedly feigned serious illnesses and simulated hospitalizations to solicit money from victims for medical treatments, food, and equipment. Through fraudulent means and the false representation of an affective relationship with one victim, he reportedly obtained over 170,000 lei through 103 financial transactions.

In Florești, a 25-year-old man was detained following two thefts from utility vehicles. The suspect is accused of stealing mechanical equipment, construction tools, and cash, with total damages estimated to exceed 25,000 lei.
