Varese, over 256 thousand liters of smuggled diesel seized

The financiers of the Varese provincial command intercepted illegal trafficking of petroleum products from the Baltic countries in total tax evasion: over 256,000 liters of diesel transported in 8 tank-containers. The consequent investigations, carried out in the immediacy of the arrest, revealed that the container subjected to seizure was part of a maxi shipment, for a total of 8 tanks, coming from European Union countries (Latvia and Lithuania), arrived by rail and lying at the intermodal terminal of Busto Arsizio, without documentation or with CMR (international consignment note) certifying the transport of lubricating oils not intended for combustion and carburetion uses, thus circumventing the envisaged circulation obligations, in absolute avoidance of excise duty. at the free foot of 2 people, the driver of the articulated vehicle and the “relay” of the same, two Italian citizens of Campania origin. Furthermore, the estimate of the relative excise duty subtracted from taxation, which amounts to over 94,000 euros, is significant.
