Residence Fraud In Monaco

Monaco 2016 - 2020

Monegasque police officers would have been bribed by several Belgians in order to get a resident card for tax haven Monaco while actually living in Belgium.

Six Belgians  from Brussels, Knokke-Heist and Namur  were  taken to the police station in  November 2016 for questioning. The investigating magistrate in Brussels, Michel Claise, (Le Soir, 2016) will later decide on a possible arrest.

The Federal Service for Combating Corruption (Office Central pour la Répression de laCorruption (OCRC) has made nine raids Monday in Brussels, Knokke-Heist and around Namur.

This was done at the request of the Monegasque authorities for police officers from the Principauté suspected of corruption.

According to tax experts, it is a fraud, "In Monaco people pay no income tax. Illegally trying to obtain a Monegasque residents card is a trick to pretend you're a resident of Monaco and therefore not taxable in Belgium. The place where you are registered as a resident is not the place where you are liable to tax. That is the place where you live. "
