How did the suspects proceed according to the Public Prosecution Service?
One of the (now former) employees assigned the assignment for, for example, cleaning and maintenance work to a company. That company then did so for a lower price than the other companies – and was then given the order – and paid a bribe to the suspect. In this way, these companies became the regular parties that performed such work. The suspects also engaged in ‘inflating invoices’. Amounts on invoices got higher every time.
“Vestia is a good customer, but also one that is difficult to get in. So companies have paid something for that,” said one of the judges in the ruling. “Since 2015, there has been a collaboration with intermediaries who made connections between contractors, cleaning services and employees of Vestia, against payment of a fee. fee.”
During previous house searches, the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service FIOD found large amounts of cash, private e-mail traffic and a hard drive on which plans for the distribution of the money were calculated.
