502 companies possibly used for the purpose have been identifiedThe Nóos Institute headquaters in Barcelona when registered by the police last NovemberLatest revelations in the Nóos case shows that the Institute, the non-profit body run by Iñaki Urdangarín and his business partner, Diego Torres, had a list of 502 companies in several fiscal havens across 19 countries. It’s believed by the Agencia Tributaria that at least five of them were used to evade funds, to make money earned in Spain disappear. The list has appeared in the registry of the Nóos Institute in their headquarters in Barcelona. Of the 502 companies on the list, 170 are in the UK, 104 in Spain, 60 in Belize, 31 in Panama, 8 in Holland, 8 in Hungary, 6 in Portugal, but also in the fiscal havens of the Dutch Antilles, Costa Rica, the Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, and Luxembourg. There are also 85 companies in six of the United States which allow companies which operate outside the USA without paying taxes. The judge thinks that Urdangarín and his partners had set up a network of companies for the purpose of money laundering using false facturas at inflated quantities. For example, money went from Barcelona to the UK, from there to Panama, and finally to Belize. It’s been accredited that 670,000 € has been taken out of Spain in this way although investigators think the total amount could be close to 6 million €.
