Two entrepreneurs and their frontman were arrested by the Oristano Financial Police as part of the "Immobil crack" operation relating to bankruptcy, corporate and tax crimes . Seizures have also taken place throughout Sardinia .
Two entrepreneurs aged 73 and 61 and an alleged frontman aged 56 ended up in prison . Another, recipient of the prison measure, died recently.
The activity of the Fiamme Gialle was born from a tax audit conducted in 2018 by the Economic and Financial Police Unit of Oristano against a company active in the management of hotels and restaurants with registered office in Villasimius and administrative headquarters in Sassari , which was headed by the two entrepreneurs.
On that occasion , indications emerged of a systematic failure to pay the taxes due to the Treasury for a total of over 3 million euros , and the alleged failure to repay bank loans for approximately 2.8 million euros (in addition to hypotheses of debts not honored); furthermore, the modus operandi would have continued, with operations throughout the island, at least since 2008 through a galaxy of companies (about thirty in total) which would always be attributable to the same subjects or their frontmen and would have been established from time to time, " emptied” and destined for failure.
The role of the alleged "front men" also emerged by virtue of some private documents found during the inspection : the interested parties declared that the shares in their possession were, effectively, the exclusive property of the entrepreneurs to whom they should have been registered "in their simple name". request, without anything being owed to me." In some cases, the figurehead would have had an exclusively "paperwork" role. Among the frontmen there would also be the two sons of one of the entrepreneurs, who also ended up in trouble.
The crimes contested are those of fraudulent patrimonial and documentary bankruptcy, simple bankruptcy, false accounting with non-payment of taxes and disturbed freedom of auctions , given that they would have interfered, on various occasions, with the regular conduct of the judicial auctions at which they would have unduly participated with the aim of reacquiring assets previously seized from them.
The latter context would include the affair of the "Teatro De Candia" in Ozieri, purchased in 2001 with the stipulation of a regional loan of over half a million euros which was subsequently not honoured, with consequent enforcement procedure and auction sale of the asset of which However, one of the same entrepreneurs was always the winner.
Other operations that have come under scrutiny include: the establishment of an insurance company which, while collecting premiums from customers, systematically failed to pay them to the insurance company for a total amount exceeding one million euros; in 2022 the signing of a rental contract of significant value with an important European player in the tourism sector (a result unrelated to the facts) for the management of a holiday village and a hotel in the province of Cagliari through a specially established company. This in turn would have "inherited" the asset for a negligible amount from another company always attributable to the same subjects, a few days before the bankruptcy of the latter.
Tax evasion would amount to several million euros.
The properties previously seized include, in addition to the Teatro De Candia in Ozieri, some apartments in Cagliari and Villasimius; land and farmhouses in Pattada, Elmas, Settimo San Pietro and Serdiana.
