Family fraudsters in court

The fifth section of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra, based in Vigo, will judge on Tuesday, a family, parents and three children, accused of carrying out an asset transfer operation to prevent the Tax Agency from collecting a debt of 90,000 euro.

According to the tax accusation document, the couple had a decoration company since 1991 that accumulated debts with the Treasury worth 90,000 euro.

In January 2016, the Tax Agency informed the owners of the company of the intention to collect these debts based on their assets, as administrators of the company.

Faced with the threat, and with the “purpose of frustrating the collection possibilities” of the Treasury, on February 11, both of them, by mutual agreement, made an agreement to hand over and transfer assets to their three children, by which they handed over to equal parts “the only significant assets of his patrimony”: a house in Mos and a rustic land of 800 square metres. As a consequence, the attempts to collect the debt with the Tax Office “were declared unsuccessful.”

For all these reasons, the Prosecutor’s Office considers both the couple and their children guilty of a crime of frustrating the execution and requests four years and three months in prison for the main defendant, as well as two years in prison for his wife and each of his children. It also demands that they pay a fine and that the assignment agreement be annulled.
