DOVE SONO FINITI I SOLDI CHE GLI ITALIANI HANNO NASCOSTO IN SVIZZERA?

CADUTO IL SEGRETO BANCARIO SONO SCOMPARSI TRA I 92 E I 126 MILIARDI DI EURO

IL GIRO DI DENARO ORA PORTA NEI PAESI BALCANICI, A DUBAI, A CIPRO E A MALTA

Milena Gabanelli e Andrea Pasqualetto per “il Corriere della Sera”

Alberto Vazzoler, cinquantottenne dentista veneziano con residenza a Monaco, aveva scelto la più redditizia attività di faccendiere: spostava denaro depositato nei conti in Svizzera. Conti intestati ai suoi clienti, per la maggior parte imprenditori ed evasori fiscali, che cercavano di trasformare i depositi in contanti.

«Perché a un certo punto le banche elvetiche hanno detto basta al cash - ha spiegato agli inquirenti -. E così se qualcuno voleva monetizzare aveva due possibilità: o lo faceva legalmente aderendo alla Voluntary, ma costava troppo, oppure prelevava il denaro in qualche altro modo, e l' altro modo eravamo noi».

SVIZZERA

Il suo sistema era naturalmente fuorilegge: giroconti, fatture false, transazioni inesistenti in lingotti d'oro. Tutte operazioni estero su estero che partivano dalla Svizzera per transitare in Slovacchia o Repubblica Ceca e finire a Dubai, negli Emirati Arabi, dove il denaro circolato online diventava sonante. Ci pensava poi un corriere specializzato a trasferirlo a Lugano con voli di linea.

Dalla Svizzera il contante veniva consegnato ai titolari dei conti, previo pagamento all'organizzazione di una commissione, che variava dal 5 al 10 per cento a seconda del grado di rischio. Perché il rischio c' era, visto che Vazzoler e i suoi cinque complici sono stati arrestati il 17 maggio scorso dal gip di Padova con l'accusa di associazione per delinquere finalizzata al riciclaggio internazionale.

AGENTI SVIZZERA

Il pm Roberto D' Angelo li accusa infatti di aver ripulito denaro frutto di reati, soprattutto tributari. Al momento gli indagati per evasione o frode fiscale sono 14 imprenditori e fanno parte dei circa 200 clienti (fra loro anche il figlio di un ex ministro del governo Berlusconi) agganciati dall' organizzazione.

I ruoli erano ben definiti: Vazzoler «regista» fra Padova e Jesolo, l' ex fidanzata Elena Manganelli Di Rienzo, figlia di un primario ginecologo, operativa a Dubai. La sponda legale era l' avvocato croato Dubravko Zeljko, quella svizzera Albert Damiano, un fiduciario di Lugano che con il bergamasco Marco Remo Suardi costituiva il riferimento in terra elvetica. «Il flusso di denaro da Dubai alla Svizzera, dal 1 dicembre 2015 al 31 dicembre 2016, è di oltre 46 milioni di euro», scrive il pm nella sua richiesta di misura cautelare in carcere. «È la conseguenza del blocco dei conti minacciato dalle banche svizzere se non si faceva la voluntary», precisa l' avvocato Luigi Fadalti, difensore di Damiano.

La Voluntary disclosure è il provvedimento pensato dall' Italia per far emergere le attività finanziarie detenute all' estero mai dichiarate al fisco, azzerando conseguenze penali e offrendo sconti sulle sanzioni. Ha avuto due edizioni. La prima, chiusa nel novembre 2015, ha fatto emergere 59,5 miliardi di euro, dei quali 41,4 detenuti in Svizzera (69,6%). Un flop invece la seconda edizione, scaduta lo scorso 2 ottobre e accompagnata da una crescente trasparenza bancaria della Svizzera, pena la lista nera dell' Ocse.

Secondo la Corte dei conti, dalla Voluntary bis sono emersi 4,9 miliardi di euro (presumibilmente 3,4 detenuti in Svizzera). Una ricerca della Banca d' Italia sull' anno 2013 (prima delle voluntary) stima da 199 a 248 miliardi i capitali non dichiarati oltre confine, il che porta a calcolare un valore approssimativo dei depositi svizzeri pre-voluntary da 137 a 171 miliardi di euro. All'appello mancherebbero quindi dai 92 ai 126 miliardi.

Dove sono finiti i soldi nascosti in Svizzera? «Una cosa è certa: nelle banche non è rimasto quasi nulla di non dichiarato», ipotizza l'avvocato Paolo Bernasconi, ex procuratore pubblico in Ticino.

«Questo dato è pacifico, i capitali oggi sono altrove», conferma il suo collega Enrico Ambrosetti, difensore della Manganelli. Secondo Bernasconi per trovare il denaro italiano in fuga dalla Svizzera bisogna seguire le tracce dei fiduciari che si sono spostati nei Paesi balcanici, a Dubai, «e anche a Cipro e a Malta, che fanno pure parte dell' Unione Europea, vendono cittadinanze a facoltosi italiani che ottengono così l'immunità fiscale, perché i dati svizzeri vengono comunicati a Cipro o Malta e non all'Italia».

EVASIONE FISCALE

È il caso di ricordare che ci sono anche Paesi della white list, come il Delaware (Usa), dove le autorità lasciano fare, ma «una buona parte è finita in luoghi ben più lontani, attraverso la finanza sofisticata dei trust che gravita su Londra», dice l'ex direttore dell'Agenzia delle Entrate Orlandi.

L'indagine di Padova riporta le cose su un piano più tradizionale e rodato, dando un'idea di cosa sia successo in questi anni ai depositi italiani illegali. Capolinea delle operazioni era lo studio di Lugano di Damiano, che metteva il contante a disposizione del cliente, il quale poteva prelevarlo personalmente o farselo portare in Italia pagando uno spallone.

E una volta a casa lo nascondi da qualche parte: nella cassaforte, in soffitta, sotto la mattonella. Ma poi come li spendi i milioni non dichiarati?

«Si comprano quadri, gioielli, immobili...», spiega l'avvocato Fadalti. «Alcuni imprenditori ci pagano una parte degli stipendi in nero», aggiunge un inquirente. Il primo gennaio 2016 (nel pieno delle operazioni di rientro capitali) l' ex premier Renzi aveva alzato il tetto all' utilizzo dei contanti da 1000 a 3000 euro. Oggi il tema «tracciabilità» non sembra preoccupare il nuovo governo, al contrario si spinge più in là, visto che finora l' unica dichiarazione è stata quella del ministro Salvini: «Per me nessun limite all'utilizzo del cash».

Take Your Money Out of the Bank! PREPARED NOW FOR A COLLAPSE OF EPIC PROPORTION

This is a tough topic, because people either don’t won’t to believe it or are not capable because they lack the knowledge to comprehend what is being said. When you understand that our country can only operate based on debt/credit, not physical dollars, you finally see that the USA is a huge Ponzi scheme built on nothing more that our ability to borrow money. Our status as the world reserve currency has allowed us to borrow money that we do not have. 

The government says that there are 10 trillion dollars sitting in the US Banking system that we can go and easily withdrawal. How can that be true when there only exists 1.4 trillion of real money in circulation (dollars and coins) and more than one half of that is outside the US.

This doesn’t include the 10s of trillions more that we owe other countries that have purchased our debt. If our creditors were to all come and ask for their money at one time there would be less than $1 dollar for every $1000 dollars owed.

The world economy collapses.

All Great empires based on fiat currencies end in this way. People I talk to like my wife and friends have no clue what is coming. This is a long video and I have edited it to half of its original length. It is the single most logical and credible documentary I have ever watched on the future of the US economy. It makes be sick that the Fed decided to bailout the corrupt bankers instead of the US citizens. Instead of bailing out the banks, the Fed could have paid off every consumer debt in the country and freed up trillions of dollars for the consumer.

Instead they padded the pockets of the banking elite. I wanted to puke. Now they are setting things up to try one last historic cash grab. Driving the stock market to all time highs so then can short the hell out of it. I think Trump will snuff if he is not assassinated first. I am 58 years old and a registered professional engineer in Maryland. I have owned 3 very different types of businesses over the past 30 years. I am now retired. I have watched hundreds of videos on the economy and done years of research into past financial failures going as back before the Roman Empire. Dr. Paul Roberts is one of my followers and referenced me in a video I produced on Sandy Hook.

People do not want to acknowledge that the fall of fiat currencies is nothing new and that the US has made it this far ONLY because we are the default reserve currency of the world. There have been 440 economies based on fiat currencies in modern history…. They have all come to the same demise, FAILURE.

Having an education in Engineering with a minor in mathematics I do not believe that the US is exempt from the natural laws of economics.

Because this was intended to be the “Land of the Free” so if I want to hoard a bunch of cash .

But seriously, there are many reasons to have a large amount of cash on hand …

Sometimes you just need cash. There are certain situations where writing a check won’t work (or isn’t fast enough) and you can’t swipe your credit card (think friend-to-friend money exchanges, or some other such trival nonsense).

For most of my readers, I think you want cash because you’re worried about some type of disruption in the normal operations of life, the banking system, and the economy (whether that’s short-term or long-term).

In an economic crisis, cash really is king. Bank withdraws are usually limited to a certain amount per day. ATM’s (if you can find one that’s not empty) limit the amount you can withdraw per day. Stores stay open but they stop accepting credit cards. And Cash really is king.

The people in Argentina, once their banks opened back up, saw their money devalued by the government to help pay the government’s debt. In Cyprus, they pioneered the “bail-in”, where they simply took the money out of accounts over a certain amount.

The more financial resources you have, the better your chances are and the less traumatic will the experience be. Some of this could be in the form of gold.”

Those are some pretty good guidelines, but again the decision is up to you…

Considering many Americans don’t have much in savings anyways, do with that info what you will. The first piece of the most BASIC personal finance advice you will ever receive is to create an “emergency fund” of cash savings.

Prepare Now For A Collapse of Epic Proportions

For the second time in the space of ten years, the powerful Bilderberg group is plotting to trigger a financial collapse, with elitists already positioning themselves to profit from the next economic meltdown.

As we reported back in 2006 during the Bilderberg Group’s meeting in Ottawa, Canada, leaked information from an American delegate revealed that insiders were preparing for the housing bubble to burst and a global market crash.

Over the course of the next two years, that exact scenario played out, culminating in the collapse of Lehman Brothers and a worldwide recession.

As the global financial picture begins to look increasingly bleak, with worries about a Chinese stock market collapse triggering a wider panic, Bilderberg is once again scheming to benefit from the fallout, while the “precariat,” those who are living paycheck to paycheck, are set to suffer the most.

Mainstream news outlets are already starting to use the phrase “economic collapse” to describe what is going on in some areas of our world right now.

This video explains the steps one should take to prepare for an Economic Collapse

For many Americans this may seem a bit strange, but the truth is that the worldwide economic slowdown that began during the second half of last year is starting to get a lot worse. In this article, we are going to examine evidence of this from South America, Europe, Asia and North America. Once we are done, it should be obvious that there is absolutely no reason to be optimistic about the direction of the global economy right now. The warnings of so many prominent experts are now becoming a reality, and what we have witnessed so far are just the early chapters of a crushing economic crisis that will affect every man, woman and child in the entire world.

Meanwhile, things are actually much worse in Venezuela than they are in Brazil. Food and basic supplies are in short supply, the inflation rate has hit 720 percent, and crime is completely out of control. G7 in Japan ignored a dire warning issued by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe about the perilous state of the global economy and the risk “of the re-emergence of a Lehman-scale crisis.”

The collapse and bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008, at the time the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, was the seminal event of the subprime financial crisis. Its implosion resulted in the loss of more than $10 trillion in market capitalization from global equity markets.

Selloffs are occurring in Spain, Italy, Greece and Germany. Economic troubles are intensified by an uncertain geopolitical situation in the Middle East and tensions between the United States, Russia and China.

Instead of focusing on a looming economic catastrophe, the G7 leaders warned against a Brexit. UK voters will decide on leaving the union during a referendum scheduled for June 23. Why is George Soros selling stocks, buying gold and making “a series of big, bearish investments”?

What is a ‘Global Recession’

An extended period of economic decline around the world. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) uses a broad set of criteria to identify global recessions, including a decrease in per-capita gross domestic product worldwide. According to the IMF’s definition, this drop in global output must coincide with a weakening of other macroeconomic indicators, such as trade, capital flows and employment.

Recessions are caused by several factors. These include:

Hyper Inflation

Deflation

Prolonged Fall in Exchange Rates

Credit Crunches

Collapsing Consumer Confidence

Collapsing Asset Prices

Collapsing Global Trade

Bust following Excessive Speculation – e.g., Property Market in Japan -1989

Evidence so far Leading up to 2017:

Collapsing Commodity Prices:

Recessions caused by deflation see massive collapses in asset prices. There has been a well over 50% plunge in the prices of industrial commodities such as copper and oil.

The end of the world as we know it is coming, or at the very least a long period of lawlessness, total anarchy and every-man-for-himself savagery. You are aware of this and want to prepare. One of the things you need to cover (aside from an ample supply of firearms) is food. What food do you stockpile?

Top Ten Things to Disappear from Grocery Shelves in Crisis

Bottled water (learn the bottled waters to avoid.)

Soft drinks (learn the 8 kinds of drinks to hoard in crisis).

Bread

Chips and crackers (American’s eat 1.2 billion pounds of

potato chips annually according to National Geographic).

Snack bars and energy bars

Medications

Diapers

Alcohol

Cigarettes

Garbage bags (used to loot the wares).

What Will You Use for Money When the SHTF After the Collapse?

It is critically important for preppers to engage with barter and to network with the the growing underground economy. This is how you will survive the dollar crisis and the on-going economic collapse for years to come. Here is what you need to be accumulating this NOW.

Will you be hoarding food and supplies? Preppers have the right to gather supplies for their survival. The United States Constitution guarantees this right. Arm yourself with knowledge! The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable

search and seizure for concerned citizens of the United States of America. Have the constitution on hand to defend your rights.

Food & Water Storage

It is true that the updated order gives the government authority to redistribute food. However, this doesn’t mean that the government can take your food storage.

The order is made to make preparations before an emergency and gives the government power to redistribute food during a crisis.

Food resources is defined in the order as “all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption.

If you’re going to use the banking system, and most people do need to use it in today’s world, then you need to know you’re already in the system …

The best you can do is work with it, to take the appropriate actions to minimize your risk.

Holding an appropriate amount of cash outside of the banking system is always a prudent thing to do.

War On Cash Goes into Full Effect — Citibank Stops Accepting Cash at Multiple Branches

In 2015, as a guest on Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, Economics Professor Joseph Salernowarned of a coming war on cash. Apparently, now, that time has come. Governments loathe cash transactions because they’re private and hard to tax. As a result, some countries are taking drastic measures to reclaim their bank notes.

Salerno said, “The French premier last year (2014) drew a parallel between the war on terror and the war on cash,” and warned the world’s economic elite are now “using the war on terror as a cover to get at cash.” The Mises Institute professor and VP predicted to Paul, “I think this could come in the next couple of years. If they have to bail out the financial system again…they’ll block the cash in the banks to prevent it from escaping and destabilizing these fractional reserve banks,” Salerno said.

At the time of the interview, 2015, Salerno said the war on cash has already begun in the U.S. and pointed to Citibank’s new policy which disallows patrons to use cash to pay their mortgages and credit cards with cash. He also pointed to Louisiana’s new law forcing “second hand dealers defined as Goodwill Stores, Flea Markets, Garage Sales, to report any cash transactions in which they were receiving or paying cash, and they had to report them on a daily basis to the local police authorities.” He said, “they (secondhand stores) had to get the sellers’ names and license plate number and a number of other of private details.”

“This is only a first step,” even though it was only on a state level. “It would be awful if it was on a federal level,” Salerno declared.

While it hasn’t happened yet on a federal level in the United States, cash reclamation is occurring today in India. But before we get to what’s taking place in India, we must first examine the reasons frequently given by government to resort to controlling the public’s access to cash. Salerno stated the government offers phony reasons why it must control cash. It’s to prohibit terrorists, tax evaders, money launderers, and profiteering by drug cartels. If one hears the government making such claims, get ready, a cash grab is about to happen.

Salerno pointed to Greece’s implementing a “cash point charge” for withdrawing Euros from their bank accounts, allowing government to charge citizens for withdrawing their own funds. He says mainstream economists have been promoting the war on cash for some time in order to prop up fledgling banks.

“I assure you other governments are watching this experiment (in Greece),” he said. Salerno also stated the real war on cash seeks to “force the public to make payments to the financial system” in order to “enable governments to expand their ability to spy on and keep track of their citizens’ most private financial dealings in order to milk their citizens out of every last dollar of tax payments that they claim are due.” He stated another reason to destabilize cash is to “prop up the unstable fractional reserve banking system which is in a state of collapse all over the world.”

Keep in mind, Salerno made his comments a year ago.

Fast forward to 2016, and the world is now witnessing the first major bank to announce it will no longer accept cash deposits or deal in cash. Citibank Australia’s head of retail bank Janine Copelin offered an explanation saying, “We have seen a steady decline in the demand for cash services in our branches — in fact, less than 4% of Citi customers have used this service in the last 12 months.” The company stated it will no longer handle currency as a result.

“This move to cashless branches reflects Citi’s commitment to digital banking and we are investing in the channels our customers prefer to use…While the number of customers visiting our branches to access cash handling services has fallen, the branch network remains an important component of how we serve our high-net-worth customers,” said Copelin.

Maybe no one’s eyebrows are raising after Citibank made its declaration because some advanced societies have quite naturally moved away from hard cash transactions, preferring the ease of pay by phone, debit cards, or credit card purchases. After all, someone in the United States could very easily live without cash. Many do already.

According to the Guardian, Sweden leads the world when it comes to not using cash. “Cards are now the main form of payment: according to Visa, Swedes use them more than three times as often as the average European, making an average of 207 payments per card in 2015.” But in some parts of the world, cash is still king.

Just this week, India made a major move to control its citizens’ access to their cash by banning the 500 and 1000 rupee notes. According to the LA Times, “An exasperating cash crunch has gripped India in the week since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the unprecedented step of withdrawing the country’s large currency notes from circulation. Modi surprised the nation by announcing an instant ban on the 500-rupee and 1,000-rupee notes, worth about $7.50 and $15, respectively, and which account for 86% of the cash in the market.”

And just as Salerno predicted governments would do, the Indian government claimed the move was meant to serve as a ”sweeping move against corruption that would force Indians who hold large amounts of undeclared wealth to deposit the money at banks and make their assets official.” In other words, just as Salerno declared, rich Indians, whose private business dealings were done in cash, will now be forced to deposit their banned bank notes — or risk losing all of their wealth.

The value of the currency, if deposited, will then be able to be tracked by the Indian government, a move Salerno stated would lead to higher taxes on its wealthy citizens, and greater returns for the banking system. And the Indian government has already admitted that’s precisely what they’re trying to do.

Also, as Paul and Salerno predicted, the move has had devastating effects on the poor, many of whom have now reverted to bartering for their needs, according to the Times. The financial decision “stunned hundreds of millions of poor and working-class Indians who live an almost entirely cash-based existence, paying in bills for everything from rent to groceries to cellphone credit.” And they never saw it coming.

“The plan was shrouded in such secrecy that even India’s financial institutions were ill prepared, creating long, sometimes unruly lines outside banks, ATMs and chronically understaffed post offices that are authorized to exchange the now-worthless notes and dispense new ones,” writes the Times.

Exacerbating the financial crisis is the fact the government issued a smaller-sized currency which no longer works with current ATMs, forcing many customers not to be able to make any purchases at all, and thereby creating a loss of revenue for businesses hit hard by fewer customers, and chaos for everyone else. The best way to describe the upheaval in India is by imagining all Americans attempting to pay all of their purchases with one dollar bills.

In India, according to the Times, two-thirds of all transactions are done in cash, an economy the government has labeled “black money.” Modi’s administration aims to tax that money.

“Much of the wealth that India has accumulated since economic reforms began in the 1990s has never been taxed or accounted for, parked instead in real estate, gold, foreign investments and, in some cases, bundles of cash sitting at home. It is those stacks of bills that Modi, who took office 2½ years ago on promises to curb corruption, aimed to bring into the open. Supporters of the prime minister’s plan said those holding cash stockpiles would have to deposit them at banks, where huge amounts would draw the scrutiny of tax authorities, or allow their value to evaporate.”

Sounding, as some would say, like Donald Trump, Modi said over the weekend, “I promise you I will give you the India of your dreams.” But right now, India is living a nightmare.

India’s decision to reclaim its currency has some questioning whether the United States would attempt to follow suit and reclaim its own currency.

For free thinkers everywhere, it may be time to take those 100 dollar bills and swap them out for one dollar denominations, or even begin to purchase gold and silver as many preppers have done already. If the proverbial shit hits the fan, taking notice of what’s happening in the world may prove to be a wise decision. With Australia’s Citibank declaration it will no longer deal in cash, with Sweden’s cashless society as a model of the future, and with India’s reclamation of bank notes, it’s anyone’s guess what the American economic crisis may look like. But it probably won’t involve cash.
