Apple, una dintre cele mai mari si mai profitabile companii de pe glob, este investigata de catre statul italian pentru o presupuas frauda uriasa. Autoritatile din Milano investigheaza in momentul de fata documentele financiare ale companiei, speculandu-se ca Apple nu ar fi declarat venituri de 1 miliard de euro pentru care ar fi fost taxata de catre stat. Apple are principala subsidiara europeana in Irlanda, unde reuseste sa plateasca taxe foarte mici catre stat, insa se pare ca nu poate ascunde chiar atat de bine toti banii produsi in Europa.
U.S. tech giant Apple is under investigation in Milan for allegedly hiding more than 1 billion euros ($1.34 billion) from the Italian taxman, a judicial source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters, confirming a local media report. “The Apple investigation is under way,” the judicial source said on Wednesday, without giving details. The Italian subsidiary of Apple was not immediately available for comment. The maker of the iPhone is the latest prominent corporation to become the target of a tax probe in Italy amid a global crackdown on tax cheating by multinationals.
