Six individuals from the management of the three companies, as well as the companies themselves, have been indicted in the investigation.
The criminal scheme implemented in Chisinau involved paying salaries “in envelopes” to employees and evading the issuance of fiscal checks. As a result, their VAT and income tax payments, mandatory health insurance contributions and mandatory state social insurance contributions were illegally understated.
Moreover, in order to conceal these illegal incomes, the management of the three companies allegedly granted loans of almost 3 million lei to their companies.
Searches have already been conducted by PCCOCS prosecutors together with officers of the Main Department for Combating Fraud of the State Tax Service, supported by officers of the National Investigation Inspectorate and Fulger fighters. Searches were conducted in the homes of the company’s executives and in their offices. Accounting documents, computer equipment, draft documents, as well as financial means in different currencies worth more than 6.6 million lei, more than 1.1 million euros and almost $300 thousand were seized.
