German Authorities Investigate Tax Evasion Using Shell Companies
More than 100 tax investigators conducted simultaneous searches at approximately 20 locations across Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. The investigation targets an entrepreneur allegedly linked to various companies using mailbox addresses in trade tax oases. The raids were carried out on Wednesday. Investigators are looking into a service provider that allegedly enabled fake registered offices for multiple businesses. More than 100 tax offenses are under investigation, though officials declined further comment due to tax secrecy and ongoing proceedings.
