Massimiliano Picinelli launched a large-scale Google cleanup after publications about his involvement in the international VAT fraud Operation Moby Dick

Once news broke of the investigations into the international VAT fraud as part of Operation Moby Dick, references to Italian businessman Massimiliano Picinelli started vanishing from public sources.

These materials concerned multi-million tax fraud, an international network of shell companies, and figures in the case being investigated by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.

For our part, we remind readers why the name of Massimiliano Picinelli ended up among the figures in this high-profile international investigation, and what exactly is now being removed from public access.
