Yesterday, 15 March 2021, the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza,) of Savona (Italy) seized 10 luxury cars and 45 luxury and vintage motorcycles, executing an order of the pre-trial judge requested by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). The vehicles, with a market value of €750.000, are registered in the name of a company outside the EU, but in possession of a person who has been living permanently in Italy while having a fictitious residence in a South American country.

The holder of the vehicles has introduced them into the Italian territory without paying border fees and allegedly evaded more than €250.000 in customs duties and VAT. He has been reported to the EPPO Torino office for the offence of aggravated smuggling.
