- Spain’s tax agency dismantled a large VAT fraud network in the hydrocarbon sector, arresting five people and involving dozens of companies.
- The network allegedly evaded over €300 million in VAT using 38 companies to simulate legitimate fuel trading and misreport taxes.
- The operation involved coordinated searches, seizures, and financial tracing under judicial supervision, uncovering complex money laundering and tax evasion schemes.
- The fraud relied on rapid company formation, false invoicing, and cross-regional operations to obscure activities.
- Authorities stress ongoing efforts and intelligence-led action to combat organised VAT fraud in high-risk sectors like hydrocarbons.
