The most critical criminal situations
The Firm intervenes in criminal proceedings initiated for the various tax offences provided for by Legislative Decree 74/2000, assisting the entrepreneur and the professionals involved in the investigation from the inspection and investigative phase, with particular attention to asset protection and the management of precautionary measures.
Fraudulent tax return
Using invoices for non-existent transactions or other devices in tax returns carries penalties of 4 to 8 years imprisonment.
False invoice issuance
Issuing invoices or documents for non-existent transactions is punishable by 4 to 8 years imprisonment, regardless of use by the recipient.
Concealment of accounting records
Destruction or concealment of mandatory accounting records preventing income reconstruction carries 3 to 7 years imprisonment.
Preventive asset seizure
Preventive seizure by equivalent can target bank accounts, real estate and corporate assets, paralyzing business activity.
How our defensive action is structured for the entrepreneur and the parties involved
Technical-legal analysis of the proceeding
In-depth examination of the criminal charge and tax premise, verifying the correct legal classification of conduct, any exceeding of punishability thresholds and the existence of the subjective element required by the incriminating norm.
Analytical reconstruction of tax operations
Technical-accounting reconstruction of disputed operations, verifying the actual existence of transactions, the relevance of costs and the traceability of financial flows, in order to counter presumptive or inductive reconstructions.
Integration with qualified accounting consultancy
Legal Aid collaborates with tax consultants and accounting experts for independent analyses and defensive technical reports, to counter accusatory reconstructions by the Tax Authority or Financial Police.
Defense at every phase and level of judgment
Assistance during tax audits, preliminary investigations, trial and appeal proceedings, up to the Court of Cassation, with coordinated management between tax litigation and criminal proceedings.
Asset protection through appeals against precautionary measures
The Firm intervenes immediately during the application of precautionary measures such as preventive seizures aimed at confiscation by equivalent, filing review requests for measures applied to personal and corporate assets.
