- A Milan judge placed two suspects under house arrest over an alleged VAT carousel fraud linked to clothing imports from China into the EU.
- Prosecutors say the scheme, active since 2019, involved companies reselling goods in Italy without paying more than 33.4 million euros in VAT.
- The main suspects are a Chinese couple based in Milan, accused of controlling the network of companies behind the fraud.
- Many of the companies were registered under intermediaries who may not have known about the illegal activity, according to investigators.
- Asset seizures were ordered but only partly carried out because the suspects had little or no identifiable money or property in Italy.
