Subsequently, through these persons, they submitted detailed periodic statements (APDs) for the insurance of the employees they themselves, but without paying the value of these contributions.

At the same time, they systematically avoided paying taxes (VAT, income tax) that mattered to the transactions, while the competent tax authorities assured debts at the expense of the persons listed in the fake, distorted, or abnormal documents.
