Italian tax fraud investigations in commercial sectors
Overview
Authorities in Italy have conducted separate investigations into tax evasion schemes within the clothing and leather industries.
In Cagliari, the Guardia di Finanza seized 160,000 euros from a clothing company suspected of using three inactive “shell companies” in Oristano, Milan, and Prato to evade taxes between 2020 and 2023. Investigators reported that the entrepreneur used approximately 450,000 euros in fraudulent invoices to reduce taxable income, with most transactions settled in cash.
In Pisa, a separate probe into the leather tanning district led to the seizure of €3.8 million from a corporation and its representative. Authorities allege that between 2021 and 2025, the company functioned as a “filter” in a commercial chain to facilitate tax evasion. This scheme reportedly involved €20.6 million in fraudulent invoices used to artificially inflate costs and evade income tax and VAT.
