An investigation and a speedy trial into the alleged bankruptcy (aggravated fraud) of the Olbia-based company Asap Service, a historic limited liability company specializing in business services, have reached a plea bargain: the owners, Sergio Floris, a chemical expert; his partner, Sonia Zarra, a biologist; and the couple's collaborator, Charlette Malfait, a 75-year-old Algerian citizen and only a pro forma director of the company.
Floris and Zarra were placed under house arrest last year, while Malfait was banned from holding corporate management positions. Floris pleaded guilty to two years and two months in prison, his wife to one year and seven months, and Malfait to one year and four months.
We're talking about a financial collapse of over two million euros.
The investigation was conducted by the Olbia Financial Police. The Tempio Prosecutor's Office identified transfers of corporate assets from one limited liability company (LLC) to another within the Floris group. This was a way, according to prosecutor Mauro Lavra, to deprive creditors and the Italian Revenue Agency of the resources needed to cover their financial debt.
Those affected include the treasury, employees, suppliers, and customers of Asap Service. The defendants, represented by attorney Liliana Pintus, have paid part of what they owed.
