“What needs to be done, and what we are working on with the Inland Revenue Agency (l’Agenzia delle Entrate), and (public IT agency) Sogei, is so-called ‘data scraping’, which means taking account of the standard-of-living data that professionals and entrepreneurs publish on social networks (and seeing if it is compatible with their tax declarations),” Leo said.

“Collaboration with the (privacy) authority is absolutely fundamental.
“Tax evasion is huge weight (on society), like terrorism, and we all must cooperate”.
