The Guardia di Finanza has conducted several enforcement operations across Italy targeting illegal manufacturing, drug production, and economic crimes. In Forgaria, Udine, authorities dismantled a marijuana production center following a vehicle pursuit in Azzano Decimo. In the Reggio Emilia and Parma regions, law enforcement dismantled a clandestine cigarette factory, seizing 7 tons of counterfeit cigarettes, 13 tons of packaged cigarettes, and 20 tons of loose tobacco. Recent investigations have also targeted fraud and tax evasion. In Matera, a physician is under investigation for aggravated fraud involving false working hours, while in Avellino, authorities uncovered a 60-million-euro tax fraud involving ‘paper companies’ used for ‘carousel fraud.’ In tourist regions, inspections have focused on labor and fiscal compliance. In the Soverato area, authorities identified 23 workers without contracts and discovered illegal sub-leasing resulting in over 100,000 euros in undeclared rental income. In Siracusa, summer inspections of hospitality venues uncovered 51 undocumented workers, with violations totaling 582,000 euros. In Amantea, investigations into a coastal resort recovered over 160,000 euros in unpaid taxes and fees. Further enforcement in Padova involved inspecting 183 commercial activities, identifying 30 undocumented workers and 27 employers in violation of labor laws, leading to sanctions between 59,000 and 350,000 euros. Additionally, the agency inspected 32 fuel stations to verify pricing and prevent the sale of adulterated products. Recent operations have expanded into illegal tourism and food safety. In Rome, authorities closed two unauthorized hotels in the Esquilino district and uncovered an 18-room facility near Piazza dell’Indipendenza that used multiple registrations to mask its size, generating nearly 82,000 euros in undeclared revenue. In the Salerno area, five businesses were suspended following inspections that identified undeclared employment and safety violations, with fines exceeding 238,000 euros. In Udine, authorities recently uncovered an international tax evasion scheme within the decorative paper trade.
