I don't know about Italian law, but in the US tax evasion is pretty difficult in many cases to prove. It is illegal in the US to deliberately defraud the IRS to evade paying taxes, it is not illegal to make a mistake, or claim a deduction you think you can claim when the IRS decides you can't, etc. So prosecutors must prove you had an intent to evade taxes you knew you owed. Because they can rarely meet that bar, criminal charges are rarely brought.
replyIn Italy, if you are charged of tax evasion, you need to demonstrate that you are not evading. It's called "inversion proof"
replythat seems terrible
replyDoesn't seem to be universal but applied narrowly for example for financial crimes.
replyWhile I share your sentiment, perhaps its better that it remain murky to give prosecutors a chance to succeed.
