A DΑΟΕ operation to dismantle a criminal organisation has been under way since early this morning, 22 October 2026. The organisation is alleged to have failed to remit at least €25m in VAT to the state since 2022.
According to information available so far, the case concerns a chain of food outlets (pizzerias) with a network of 100 stores across Greece. It should be noted that, according to available data, Pizza Fan is the only company in the country with a network of this size.
Euro2day.gr tried to contact both the company and a senior executive, but neither answered the phone.
Searches are being carried out at stores and homes by the Sub-Directorate for Financial Crime Prosecution, in cooperation with AADE and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
According to ERT, nine alleged members of the organisation’s core have so far been arrested, while more than €500,000, luxury cars, jewellery and a large amount of evidence have been seized.
