A MAN is being held in Huaian City in Jiangsu Province on suspicion of running an underground "taxation bureau" which issued more than 20 billion yuan (US$2.9 billion) of counterfeit invoices.
The suspect, whose identity was not disclosed, headed a family syndicate falsifying invoices and moved from Zhejiang Province to Huaian City to expand the market, according to yesterday's Yangtze Evening News.
Officers seized 12 cartons of invoices for internal revenue, local tax, enterprise income tax, value-added tax and proof of tax payment.
The suspect allegedly hired local college students to leaflet drivers at intersections or leave cards on windscreens at parking lots.
The cards led Huaian police to identify several premises and more than 150 officers took part in 13 raids on "safe houses" on January 29, seizing over 320,000 fake invoices, computers, printers and dozens of falsified official stamps.
The suspect is said to have told police that he and his relatives stored the blank "invoices" in one place and kept the computers and printers in another spot while they lived at local hotels and spent most of nights at recreational facilities.
They left their wives in their home town and stayed with mistresses in Huaian.
The suspect is said to have refused cheap cigarettes offered by police during his interrogation and demanded a more expensive brand.
And he even told officers they should be enjoying their lives rather than pursuing him.
