A complaint about possible breaches of labor, insurance, and tax rules began unraveling the Pizza Fan scandal. Prosecutors have charged the first 23 people arrested in the case with, depending on the individual, forming, joining, and directing a criminal organization.<\/h4>\n

According to the investigation, from at least 2016 the accused set up and joined a structured, ongoing organization whose purpose was felony-level tax evasion (income tax and VAT). They did this by interfering with the order-taking and receipt-issuing system, allowing franchise stores to skip issuing the required tax documents for certain customer orders.<\/p>\n

Police said the group used special software that let stores complete orders without issuing the mandated receipts. Customer orders went into the central system and were forwarded to the relevant stores. When an employee finished an order, the system normally offered the option to issue a receipt (cash or card) or cancel the order.<\/p>\n
