This would fit a minimum prison sentence for each tax year of the fraud. If the open inspection is for three years, then it would be a minimum of six years in prison.
“If, before two months have passed from the opening of the investigation, they legally recognise the facts and pay back the defrauded amount, the punishment can be reduced.” he added.
