The Roma family with the golden sovereigns declared zero taxable income, owned villas and luxury cars

According to authorities, most of the persons examined in the case and who have already been remanded in custody with the agreement of the investigator and prosecutor in Larissa and Athens, appeared in their tax returns with zero or very low incomes.

In several cases, they even declared that they were in a state of financial poverty, presenting themselves even as "tent dwellers" or homeless, while at the same time they had significant overdue debts to the State amounting to tens of thousands of euros.

However, the picture emerging from the authorities' investigation into their lifestyle seems to be completely different.

As revealed by the investigation of the Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, some of the family members resided in large properties and luxurious residences.

For example, one of the members reportedly resided in a maisonette extending over two plots of land with a total area of ​​over 16,000 square meters, while another relative resided in a detached house located on plots of land with a total area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

In another case, a luxurious residence appears to be located on a plot of almost 15,000 square meters.

In parallel, the authorities also identified a significant number of high-value vehicles related to the persons under investigation.

Among these are luxury car models, such as BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and other similar vehicles, which according to the data were either in their possession or had been transferred in the past to third parties.

The investigation material also states that the members of the group used more than one car, which they changed relatively frequently, while in some cases they allegedly carried out transfers or purchases of vehicles in a short period of time.

These movements are also examined by the authorities in light of the possible concealment of the origin of money, through purchases and transfers of assets.

The same information also records that in some cases sums of money were deposited into bank accounts and then electronic payments or purchases were made immediately, a practice that, according to the authorities, is often encountered in cases of financial crimes.

These figures, according to the estimates of analysts at the Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, compose a picture that is significantly different from the financial profile that appeared in the tax returns, reinforcing suspicions that the real income of those involved may have come from activities that had not been declared to the competent authorities.
