DGAF inspectors identified a fraud of over 72 million lei at a company from Neamt, involved in fictitious transactions with precious metals

Following the checks, anti-fraud inspectors discovered that a company from Neamt, active in the jewelry trade, caused a damage of 72 million lei to the Romanian state through cross-border fraud. It was part of a fictitious trading chain, together with entities in Italy, Switzerland and Austria, to disguise real transactions and avoid paying taxes. ANAF worked with the Swiss authorities to establish the real circuit of the goods and discovered irregularities in accounting records and withdrawals of funds through cryptocurrencies. Proceedings have been initiated with a view to criminal prosecution.
