Due to the new crown epidemic and inflationary pressure, people across Italy are now clearly feeling the economic pressure. With the introduction of a series of government assistance measures, illegal acts of defrauding state subsidies have also continued to appear. Today (28th), Naples tax police launched a raid and confiscated more than 772 million euros in state subsidies suspected of being illegally received.

According to reports from Italian ANSA and Fanpage, police investigations show that criminal suspects usually submit subsidy applications amounting to millions of euros on the tax bureau website to receive the benefits established by the Italian government's "Restart Decree" Subsidies for building renovations, energy-saving projects, rent rebates, etc. However, after the police checked, they found that there was a lot of false information in the application form and that the suspect who received the huge subsidy had never carried out any relevant projects.

Currently, 143 people from the provinces of Naples and Caserta are under investigation for suspected fraud of state subsidies. Those suspected of illegally receiving subsidies not only include people who are not eligible to apply, people who temporarily registered companies, people who have nothing to do with the construction industry, but also members of the local mafia, and even a prison inmate. The man in prison was linked to two construction projects and received subsidies of 34 million euros and 30 million euros respectively.
During this operation, the police seized a total of more than 772 million euros in subsidies suspected of being illegally received.
