In August, the first asset commitments are expected to be made for those who have received with false supporting documents OPECEPEaccording to sources from the Ministry of Citizen Protection.
The commitments will be made through the Organized Crime Management Directorate. Under the applicable law, the Prosecutor’s Office has the potential to impose commitments even on the preliminary examination stage. This is also the main reason for the active involvement of the police in the disclosure of the scandal, which has already requested and received a copy of the database of approximately 650,000 VAT.
The processing of the VAT ID will be based on some “risk criteria”, with the aim of highlighting the so -called “red VAT” – that is, those who are allegedly receiving subsidies with false or fake supporting documents.
In these cases, immediate binding procedures will be initiated unless those involved voluntarily refund the amounts they have received. In this case, they may be exempted from criminal prosecution or being identified.
It is noted, however, that this possibility does not apply to those who have been involved in forgery or if their activity is associated with a criminal organization.
