He brought clients’ money to San Marino, a broker investigated by the Gdf
He managed current accounts in San Marino banks as a legal advisor for wealthy clients, withdrew cash but above all he would ensure that the capital escaped the Italian tax authorities through international trusts and San Marino credit institutions. A shareholder in a company in Dubai, a financial consultant with a past as a banker in San Marino, the 51-year-old broker, residing in Riccione, is now in danger of ending a trial for alleged crimes related to money laundering and abusive financial activity. The 51-year-old is being investigated by the Guardia di Finanza of Rimini, coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Luca Bertuzzi, because he allegedly “shielded” at least 3 million euros in the guise of tax evasion. According to the Fiamme Gialle, between 2009 and 2017 he would have transferred large sums of money, masking the origin for at least 3 million euros and attributable to one of his clients, an orthopedic doctor already definitively convicted of tax crimes. The same client then – it emerged from the investigations – appears as the one who controlled the activity of another trust this time attributable to a Florentine composer and lyricist who died in 2012 after writing songs that sold over 200 million records. Defended by the lawyer Moreno Maresi, the broker will have to appear before the judge for the preliminary hearings on March 8th.
