Italy – who evades the most, wins the prize

If one leaves an unpaid bill that could enter the Guinness Book of Records, you would expect that someone would try to make him pay up,  but instead…

Giovanni Giorgetti, director of the “Centro Studi Economico e Finanziario ESG89”

After a study, conducted by the  Economic and Financial Studies Center «Centro Studi Economico e Finanziario ESG89», of the balances of over 800 capital companies operating in the agricultural sector, Philip Morris, with the sum of 1,450,167,854.00 euro, was ranked “first for turnover among all the companies operating at a national level”.

A prestigious result, that is to be expected from a top-class company!  But what has Philip Morris got to do with Italian agriculture? Read more »

"Smoke Better"

Is a better cigarette possible? If so, why haven’t the major manufacturers thought about it yet? The reason is that Big Tobacco, that has no competitors today, has dedicated all its efforts to trim cent after cent from its production costs, using chemistry to correct the taste of its tobaccos.

The Burley, Virginia and Oriental Tobaccos, used to make “Yesmoke” cigarettes, come from seven different countries and all belong exclusively to the high price range. Yesmokes cigarettes are technically perfect, like a premium brand must be; they are manufactured with machinery of the latest generation, in some cases more advanced than the technology used by the tobacco multinationals.

Yesmoke tobaccos have no added ammonia that increases addiction to the product. In fact, Yesmoke is the only cigarette whose tobacco is subjected to special treatment aimed at eliminating even the ammonia naturally present in tobacco. Our objective is to offer on the market cigarettes that are of better quality than the cigarettes of Big Tobacco. Read more »

Lobbyist Patria the Patriot

Who is the worse Mafioso? The one who kisses Toto’ Riina on the cheek, or the one who works so that Philip Morris, the greatest thief of Italian history, can continue to take home billions of euro that belong to the Italians?

Renzo PatriaThe Honorable Renzo Patria, of Forza Italia and an old Christian Democratic bureaucrat, is known as the “number one lobbyist” of Philip Morris in Italy - a very prestigious position!

But at the age of 76, Mr. Patria should be stimulated by thoughts and fruitful reflections on the hereafter and the spiritual side of existence. Instead, it seems that Onorevole Patria prefers to spend his time giving Italians kicks in the behind with the gusto of a youngster… up to his last breath!

After the "Assotabacco", so-called "Associazione Nazionale Imprese Europee Produttrici di Sigarette" (National Association of European Businesses Producers of Cigarettes), with which he managed to get himself into the Confindustria, the latest stunt in the glorious career as “lobbyist” of the Honorable Mr. Patria has been the "Filtabacco".

The Minimum Price – Tremonti, why did you do it?

Is it sensible to throw away two billion euro a year, to save 450 million one time only? It would seem so… when the money is not yours.

Giulio TremontiIn 2003, Philip Morris was threatening to take its products away from Etinera, the state company that distributed cigarettes on all the Italian territory. Consequently, Etinera’s sale price to British American Tobacco would have dropped from 600 million euro estimated and recorded in the in the State budget, to a little more than 150, that is, 450 million less. How could they solve this problem? Read more »

Joe Camel – A Total Tax Dodger

«Fellows, you haven’t understood anything: we lost the war and if Big Tobacco doesn’t pay taxes in Italy as it should, there’s nothing strange about it” - say the experts.

Cartello stradale con il cammelloBut Japan didn’t win the war either, because it was part of the  ROBERTO (the Rome, Berlin Tokyo axis). An Italian  taxpayer who buys a pack of Camels should know that Japan Tobacco  does not pay a single cent of tax on the profits earned from his purchase, and it is pocketing the money.

How much would Yesmoke Tobacco S.p.A. have to report to the Italian tax office if it sold 800 million packs of cigarettes, as JTI - Japan Tobacco International Italia - does in one year?

At an average price of 3.90 euro – JTI's average sales price for its cigarettes (going from Winstons at 3.70 to Camels at 4.00 euro), Yesmoke would have to declare a profit of 376 million euro. Read more »

When D'Alema, Visco and Diliberto brownose Big Tobacco

Is it possible to fight for workers’ rights and at the same time dream about being a family friend of the Rothschild’s or being “at home” at Goldman Sachs?

Piloti della Formula 1 - D'Alema, Visco e DilibertoIn times of cuts to the welfare state and the struggle against evasion, there is a forgotten story that should be brought to light more than ever. If, after the sentence of the Supreme Court of Cassation of 21 December 2001, someone closed an eye on Philip Morris’s 120 thousand billion lire tax evasion, we have to thank, besides Romano Prodi, three sinister individuals: Massimo D’Alema, Vicenzo Visco and Oliviero Diliberto.

Mario Pirani – The "Resistenza" of Philip Morris

With a fine article in praise of the Minimum Price, published in the newspaper “Repubblica” of 23 February, Mario Pirani made his little contribution to the cause of foreign cigarette manufacturers, “in defense of the public health”.

Mario Pirani

Mario Pirani

How can he? A partisan fighter when he was young, how can he lower himself to butter up the Italians with articles that make the happiness of Philip Morris, the top tax evader of Italy?

It is true that today there is nothing better than the credibility of one who, one day yes and one day no, fills his mouth  talking about the “Resistenza” and the “Costituzione”.

But what do partisans have to do with thieves? Read more »

Here’s how Philip Morris continues to rip off the Italians

The tobacco market of the Italian boot is the richest in Europe; this past year manufacturers divided up a sales revenue of 2 billion 800 million euro. But how much tax did they pay?

Chi fuma Marlboro è un coglione

How much would Yesmoke S.p.A. have to declare to the revenue authorities if it sold in one year two and a half billion packs of cigarettes, like Philip Morris does?

According the 2007 financial statements (the 2008 ones are not available yet), on a sales revenue of 1 billion 446 million euro, Philip Morris declared profits of only 53 million 320 thousand euro.

At the price of 3.40 euro, Yesmoke would already reach a profit of 500 million, a figure not even comparable to the one reported by Philip Morris. Read more »
