ANAF dismantles tax evasion in delivery services and crypto mining

Romania’s National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) anti‑fraud unit uncovered two extensive illegal schemes. A network of more than 50 companies involved in home‑delivery services used a five‑layer structure of phantom firms in Bucharest and Timișoara to hide revenues, evade profit tax, VAT and payroll contributions, causing an estimated loss of over 23 million lei. The operation also employed workers without registered contracts, further reducing tax and social‑security payments.

In a separate raid in Satu Mare, ANAF seized a clandestine cryptocurrency‑mining farm housed in a disused building. The facility contained 407 mining rigs valued at over 2 million lei and had consumed electricity worth roughly 7 million lei between August 2025 and April 2026 – comparable to the power use of thousands of households. The operation was linked to two Constanța‑registered companies that officially reported hospitality activities, and none of their representatives attended the inspection. All equipment has been confiscated while investigators work to identify the real beneficiaries and assess undeclared revenues.
