“I’ve done a stupid thing”, Silva Moro told her sister in a Whatsapp message in 2016.“I put a strudel in the oven to cook where €40,000 was hidden”. The story emerged in a court in Padua, Italy, last week. Moro’s partner, Alberto Vazzoler, an Italian businessman on trial for money laundering and tax evasion, had apparently forgotten to tell her about his stash of “hot” money, says The Times. In 1999, Vazzoler started Dublin-based Net Fraternity, which rewarded internet users for looking at online adverts, but it went bust in 2010. Nevertheless, Vazzoler has homes in Monte Carlo, Jesolo and Padua, as well as yachts and luxury cars. He is accused of laundering €46m across Europe, channelling the funds to tax havens.
