A telemarketing company based in Chisinau and its administrator are suspected of tax evasion of over 17.7 million lei, IPN reports.
"The company claimed to be operating in the IT sector so as to benefit from tax reduction. Subsequently, the administrator allegedly bought a number of properties in Chisinau with this hidden money so that the law enforcement authorities were misled and his tax evasion could not be revealed. As a result of this implemented scheme, he also committed money laundering, in which the managers of another economic agent that provides currency exchange services were also involved,” said the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases.
The prosecutors, together with officers of the National Investigation Inspectorate and the State Tax Service, carried out searches, being assisted by employees of the "Fulger" Special Purpose Police Brigade.
Accounting documents, contracts and draft documents proving double-entry bookkeeping were seized. There were also found out a firearm with an expired license and cash: over 450,000 lei, 100,000 Russian rubles, over €20,000 and almost $7,000. The investigations continue.
