ZURICH: The Swiss attorney general’s office (OAG) has opened a criminal investigation in a tax case involving a former manager of luxury goods maker Kering after a request for help from Italian authorities.
A source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters the request from Milan prosecutors was about a former Kering manager in Italy under investigation for alleged tax evasion.
Kering declined to comment on Wednesday.
The OAG added that it had opened “its own criminal proceedings on suspicion of, among other things, money laundering and document forgery” against “unknown persons”.
