Who is Daniele Moretti, the influencer accountant accused of a 14 million euro fraud

On Instagram he was the portrait of luxury and success: shots at the helm of yachts in Porto Rotondo, helicopter flights, evenings at the DJ console and breathtaking sunsets from his resort in Kenya, all in front of over 140 thousand followers. But behind the glossy image of the "perfect husband" and jet-setting entrepreneur, an accounting abyss was hidden.

The fifty-one-year-old originally from Tarquinia and resident in Marina Velca ended up under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. For the Guardia di Finanza he is the "mastermind" of a colossal tax fraud worth over 14 million euros, dismantled with a maxi-preventive seizure.

Graduated in Economics and Commerce from the University of Tuscia in 1999, since 2001 Moretti has built a dense network of offices by opening the "Moretti & partners tax firm", with offices in Rome (in viale Parioli), Viterbo and Milan. Although the investigating judge's order indicates him as an "accountant", the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Viterbo has categorically denied his registration in the register, specifying that the fifty-one year old uses the title improperly. Furthermore, his record is not free from investigative attention: already in 2023 he was involved in an investigation by the Guardia di Finanza into tax saving packages linked to Link Campus University.

The current precautionary measure was also determined by the risk of flight, closely linked to his foreign affairs. The investigating judge highlighted how Moretti transferred significant financial resources abroad, intensifying his trips to Kenya between 2025 and 2026. In Africa, at Diani Beach, he inaugurated the Kinondo Poa Beach Resort in July 2025, demonstrating a "consolidated logistics network outside national borders" that can be used to steal capital from the tax authorities.

The mechanism, coordinated from his luxurious studio in Viale Parioli in Rome, was based on a sophisticated circuit of illicit labor supply which involved as many as 2,478 workers. At the center there were four consortium cooperatives (Sviluppo Italia, Pmg multiservizi, Promo service and Global facility) which acted as "legal screens" and "containers of tax debts".
