The Guardia di Finanza has uncovered a significant tax evasion scheme in Trentino related to the superbonus, amounting to over 15.6 million euros. On February 19, the Provincial Command of Trento executed a decree issued by the local G.I.P., leading to the seizure of fictitious tax credits exceeding 10 million euros and assets worth an additional 5.6 million euros. The investigation began in October 2023 following numerous reports from property owners who had entrusted energy efficiency renovation work to a company that failed to fulfill its contractual obligations.
The inquiry revealed an illicit scheme in which property owners were deceived with promises of “zero-cost” work, while the actual work carried out was minimal or non-existent. The involved company submitted false documentation to obtain tax credits linked to the 110% bonus, subsequently cashing them in through sales to third parties. More than 14 construction sites were inspected, and three individuals were identified as being responsible for criminal association and fraud against the state.
