- Tax officials scrutinised Madalina Ioana Filip’s lavish lifestyle on social media
An OnlyFans star who fled to Switzerland after being accused of owing £1.25million in taxes has hit back at claims that she is on the run.
Italian officials say Madalina Ioana Filip, known as Mady Gio, owes them a fortune after allegedly evading tax by claiming she was paying it abroad.
The 27-year-old is believed to have left Italy while the inquiry was ongoing and says she plans to stay in Switzerland.
She told her 1.5 million Instagram followers that Italian taxmen have demanded 1.5 million euros after accusing her of not declaring all her earnings in 2021.
Authorities reportedly looked into the lavish lifestyle she displayed on social media and spoke of in interviews, and found that the earnings she declared were not proportionate.
Mady was therefore reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Busto Arsizio for the crime of false declaration, according to Italian media.
Investigators reportedly said that she decided to move her residence to Switzerland in early 2022.
She allegedly did so to obtain a more favorable tax situation, declaring just over 50 thousand euros of income.
Her case is reportedly being handled by the public prosecutor’s office in Busto Arsizio, Lombardy.
But the adult content creator shrugged off the demand saying simply: ‘I now live in Switzerland.’
She added: ‘I have always paid taxes, both in Italy and Switzerland.’
Taking to Instagram on October 7, Mady raged against claims that she’s a tax cheat.
She said: ‘I read newspaper articles accusing me of tax evasion.
‘My right to privacy and, above all, the inviolable principle of innocence until proven guilty have been violated.
‘These are just accusations for which I have already instructed my lawyers to defend me in all appropriate places.’
According to Italian news agency ANSA, her lawyer Riccardo Lanza said: ‘We will challenge every provision.
‘My client has relied on professionals who at this point will have to answer for any errors. She has always acted according to the law’.
The star, who is of Romanian origin, reportedly moved to Italy aged 12 and grew up in Varese.
She previously worked as a waitress for ten years in her family’s restaurant and bars for around 1,000 euros a month.
Since moving into OnlyFans content, she says her highest paying clients pay an average of 7,000 euros each per month, and last year she was listed as the woman who earns the most on the site in Italy.
Mady has made a number of TV and radio appearances and recently spoke in an interview with talk show La Zanzara.
She said of her job: ‘It’s not a walk in the park: you always need a new idea to earn the figures I earn. It’s a job like all the others, it’s a job I like and it’s almost a blessing.
‘Before I was a nun, thanks to OnlyFans I’ve opened up my mind.’
Asked whether she’d ever reconsider her dramatic life change with her move into adult content, she said: ‘Second thoughts? None, on the contrary. I wish I had done it before.
‘I was a waitress for 10 years in the family restaurant. At home everyone is happy, even the great-grandmother.
‘She says that as long as I don’t kill anyone and I pay taxes, you can do anything’.
