REPORT: Mr Bee's consultants in money laundering probe, Milan takeover in jeopardy
Today’s Repubblica has published the latest batch of files released by the Milanese public prosecutor’s office.
Within them are contained some pretty spicy revelations, namely that the Lugano-based consultancy Tax&Finance is recycling money for Italian tax evaders.
This would just be another news item if it wasn’t for the fact that Tax&Finance… are also advising Taechaubol.
“[T&F] creates off-shore companies to hold illicit funds, it’s a sort of slush fund factory, used to hide monies denied to tax authorities”.
Tax&Finance was founded by accountant Gerardo Segat, along with partners Paolo di Filippo and Andrea Baroni. The latter was arrested two weeks ago on charges of criminal conspiracy with intent to recycle money.
Neat!
