The 5,439 people flagged to
Italian police in the Swissleaks case involving the HSBC bank
led to 3,276 inspections which found tax evasion on income of
41,755,879 euro, and 4.5 mn in VAT, tax police sources said
Monday.
The 3,276 inspections showed that 1,264 Italians used the
government's 'fiscal shield' to repatriate 1,669,075,253 euros,
tax police said Monday.
Among those named in the media were fashion designer
Valentino and MotoGP ace Valentino Rossi, who have both reached
a settlement, and billionaire entrepreneur and former Renault F1
boss Flavio Briatore, whose lawyer says his nine accounts are
legal.
Others include supermodel Elle 'the body' MacPherson, F1
ace Fernando Alonso and King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
