Authorities across Europe arrested 43 people and seized 520 million euros following an investigation into a criminal conspiracy to evade VAT through money laundering and mafia activity, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) said, and Italian police said on thursday.
They said the investigation concerns tax fraud in the trading of IT products and electronic equipment within the EU and involves around 400 companies with 200 suspects, mainly in Italy and several European countries, but also in the United Arab Emirates.
According to European prosecutors, those arrested are also facing charges of helping the Naples-based Camorra mafia and the Sicilian Cosa Nostra by investing their profits in VAT fraud.
Many investigations in Italy have shown in recent years how mobsters have moved aggressively into the low-risk, low-risk world of white-collar crime.
