EPPO investigators arrested three suspects in Germany this week in a probe into a suspected criminal organisation accused of running a €10 million VAT fraud linked to the sales of cars. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in Munich requested the action, with searches and seizures carried out across Germany alongside the arrests. Prosecutors said the case centres on alleged VAT fraud tied to car sales, with the suspected operation valued at about €10 million. The investigation led to targeted police action, including searches at relevant locations and the seizure of material connected to the probe. Following the enforcement steps, three suspects were taken into custody as part of the ongoing investigation.
