Poste Italiane and Guardia di Finanza
Together to ensure legality and transparency
The historic collaboration with Guardia di Finanza (Finance Police) and the signed protocol provide even more effective and up-to-date tools to counter any abuse and make a concrete contribution to the country’s development.
The Memorandum of Understanding with Guardia di Finanza consolidates the entrenchment of company standards and rules in processes, through the increasingly widespread dissemination of the principles of legality and transparency in the market and the prevention of financial offences. In particular, within the framework of the Protocol, the shared objectives are the fight against tax evasion, avoidance and fraud, offences relating to public expenditure, economic and financial crime, money laundering, counterfeiting and fraud concerning payment systems. The Protocol also stipulates that Poste Italiane shall assist in the work of prevention and law enforcement by sharing with Guardia di Finanza its wealth of information against unlawful acts in areas of institutional interest carried out also by exploiting technological and IT means. Under the agreement, Poste Italiane will make available to Guardia di Finanza the data in the “Identity Check” system, which will be useful for investigations to prevent and repress fraud and any other offence of an economic or financial nature. The Protocol also establishes regular meetings to review the progress of the collaboration and share information on new fraud scenarios and initiatives to be implemented.
