They are called the “Task Force” on the other side of the Channel. Groups designed and created specially for a specific goal. Here, stem the scams with the license plate, which has become too numerous.
In the Somme, the Amiens prosecutor’s office has created a special group to flush out this scam that continues to grow over the years. “It is the underground economy, by nature all that escapes us is not quantified, specifies Véronique Parent, the assistant prosecutor of Amiens, to Here Picardy. But it is also the objective of this working group: to have an inventory. “
A special group created to accelerate surveys concerning the license plate fraud
Since 2017, the State has privatized the vehicle registration service. In eight years, fraud has increased by 45%. “It is rather easy for those who want to defraud. We have a machine and you make a plate very quickly,” says a mechanic, with our colleagues.
This working group must make it possible to accelerate surveys. “It is the interest of this Task Force which brings together all the State services concerned: coordination, communication and collaboration” adds Véronique Parent.
“These ephemeral companies impoverish the state funds, but above all they fly the markets to companies that respect their legal obligations” assures his side Jean-François Vicentini, the public prosecutor of Amiens.
