The Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and the Main Department for Combating Fraud of the State Tax Service are investigating a tax evasion and money laundering scheme worth more than 11 million lei, carried out between 2020 and 2024.
It concerns an association of employers engaged in waste collection and recycling. It earned significant profits, while failing to fulfill its tax obligations: it did not register as a VAT payer, did not submit tax declarations and did not transfer the value-added tax to the state budget. Such actions caused damage to the budget on a particularly large scale.
In this regard, law enforcement officers conducted searches, during which documents and material evidence relevant to the investigation of the criminal case were seized. The investigation is ongoing.
