Among them is <strong data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1553\">one of its leaders<\/strong>, who was already in prison. The detainees are charged with <strong data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1704\">crimes against the Public Treasury, criminal organization and money laundering<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1707\" data-end=\"1929\">The investigation began in <strong data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1756\">mid-2024<\/strong>, when the Tax Agency began to analyze the activity of a wholesale operator that had started selling large quantities of hydrocarbons at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"2382\">At that time, the regulatory modification that, as of <strong data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2032\">January 2025<\/strong>, requires companies registered in the <strong data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2124\">Registry of Hydrocarbon Extractors (Redef)<\/strong> to file <strong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2164\">monthly returns<\/strong> and to be integrated into the <strong data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2242\">Immediate Information Supply (SII)<\/strong> system <strong data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2242\">,<\/strong> had not yet entered into force. Until then, these companies filed quarterly returns and were only required to identify customers and suppliers on an annual basis. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2436\">Instrumental companies and chain operators<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2438\" data-end=\"2743\">According to the investigation, the first fraudulent operator declared <strong data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2567\">accrued VAT quotas much lower than its actual sales<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2570\" data-end=\"2612\">input VAT quotas much higher<\/strong>, relying on a network of <strong data-start=\"2639\" data-end=\"2666\">instrumental companies<\/strong> that formally invoiced the final recipients for the extracted product.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"3034\">After being removed from the Redef in mid-2024, the fraudulent activity continued through a <strong data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"2870\">second operator<\/strong>, which began selling hydrocarbons in October 2024. In just one month, before it was also removed from the register, it would have defrauded <strong data-start=\"3008\" data-end=\"3033\">123 million euros.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3036\" data-end=\"3256\">Subsequently, in mid-December 2024, a <strong data-start=\"3089\" data-end=\"3110\">third operator<\/strong> began a new phase of fraudulent activity, although it was removed from Redef <strong data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3223\">only five days<\/strong> after the start of these operations.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3258\" data-end=\"3317\">A structure designed to defraud and hide funds<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3319\" data-end=\"3566\">Once <strong data-start=\"3327\" data-end=\"3364\">the three operators were disqualified<\/strong> and expelled from the market, the investigations continued under the direction of the <strong data-start=\"3445\" data-end=\"3513\">Central Court of Instruction number 4 of the Audiencia Nacional,<\/strong> in coordination with the <strong data-start=\"3538\" data-end=\"3565\">Anti-Corruption Prosecutor&#8217;s Office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3568\" data-end=\"3849\">The Tax Agency finally uncovered a <strong data-start=\"3613\" data-end=\"3670\">complex structure made up of up to 38 companies<\/strong>, designed with a dual purpose: <strong data-start=\"3706\" data-end=\"3753\">to defraud the VAT charged and not paid into<\/strong> the public coffers and to <strong data-start=\"3778\" data-end=\"3816\">move the funds abroad to<\/strong> make them difficult to trace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3851\" data-end=\"4085\">The organization also had a <strong data-start=\"3890\" data-end=\"3912\">network of front men<\/strong> and the collaboration of <strong data-start=\"3934\" data-end=\"3955\">legal advisors<\/strong>, and used part of the money obtained to acquire new companies registered in the Redef to <strong data-start=\"4055\" data-end=\"4084\">continue the fraud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4087\" data-end=\"4379\">According to the Tax Agency, this system allowed a <strong data-start=\"4141\" data-end=\"4187\">rapid increase in sales at low prices<\/strong>, an expansion throughout the national territory and a <strong data-start=\"4240\" data-end=\"4320\">serious impact on both the Treasury and competition in the sector<\/strong>, concentrated in very short periods of effective activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The network operated throughout Spain through 38 companies and used shell companies to defraud and hide funds
