The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) in Athens carried out searches and seizures last week at various locations in Attica and Kastoria, as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected VAT fraud involving the trade of small electronic devices and the laundering of proceeds from criminal activities.
The investigation, launched almost a year ago, has so far uncovered a complex network of companies set up in Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Greece, which are believed to have been used to trade small electronic devices across the European Union.
