ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “According to the necessary contrast of tax evasion to protect the ability of the Republic to respond to the needs of citizens”, the activity of the Guardia di Finanza has joined “the fight against fraud and the protection of the markets, thus ensuring a strategic presidium for the fairness, legality, the ability of the economic life of our Country”. Thus the president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, during the meeting with the General Commander and a representation of the Guardia di Finanza on the occasion of the 252th anniversary of the Corps.
The Guardia di Finanza is “a Body capable of continuity of over two and a half centuries, a witness of aptitude to innovation and able to adapt to the most radical changes of society”. “This 252th anniversary is located in the path of the mission that is now resolved in a new geopolitical context. Present in the crucial passages of our history, the protagonist of the liberation of the homeland from anti-fascism, the Guardia di Finanza has contributed significantly to express the constitutional values, those of cohesion, solidarity and social justice”, he added.
“Financials hold faith every day to the oath to the State, the Republic and its institutions, often paying a very high price. I address a moving thought to the many who sacrificed themselves while fulfilling duty. In recent time, the financiers chosen Matteo Franzoso and Erik Pettavino, whose lives were broken into the army of activities in insidious environments. Activities that requires professionalism and courage. To their family members I renew the deep closeness and gratitude of our country,” he concluded.
