- ANAF uncovered a complex tax fraud scheme involving four related companies, creating fake economic transactions to evade taxes and illegally claim VAT refunds.
- Fictitious invoices were issued for non-existent transactions, including street cleaning services, construction materials, and medical equipment, totaling hundreds of millions of lei.
- The fraud allowed illegal VAT refunds, with the state blocking 19 million lei in illegal claims and seeking to recover total damages estimated at over 55 million lei.
- The scheme involved companies managed by relatives, with one main beneficiary company deducting over 46 million lei in VAT based on fake invoices.
- After VAT refunds and the start of antifraud checks, the beneficiary company reversed some transactions, citing unperformed services, but 83 million lei in invoices remained unjustified.
