According to the almost 400-page indictment, a 46-year-old man created and operated an organized, multi-level company network from January 2016, which was made up of companies that did not carry out real activities, and whose purpose was to illegally avoid tax.

The criminal organization provided "services" aimed at tax evasion, typically performing "asset protection activities."

In the case, in which 5 defendants were previously under arrest, the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office brought charges against a total of 42 persons for the crime of budget fraud committed in a criminal organization and other crimes.
