"For the information available to the Agency, some of the professionals now inspected did not make any payment by card: everything was in cash or, to a lesser extent, by transfer. In other cases, instead, the percentage of collection with The card was especially high , which could reveal the concealment of part of the cash income, "he continues, adding that" approximately 40% of the natural persons affected by the operation have their own safes " .
