LEGALITY ECONOMIC
Friday 13 March 2015, we children of the fifth class with the pupils of the fourth we attended a lecture on "economic law", held by the Guardia di Finanza at our school.
During the meeting, we realized that if everyone respects the rules established by the Constitution, or if all pay taxes, everyone can enjoy more efficient services: Best Hospitals, schools, stadiums, greater investment in public works, ...
Article n. 53 of the Constitution, it is written that
..... all citizens should contribute to the costs of the state according to their economic.
One of the tasks of this police force is precisely to enforce the duty to give substance to the rights.
The Guardia di Finanza was born in 1774, its symbol is a griffin, a mythological animal half lion and half eagle; because of its features the griffin is strong both on land, both in the air, as is the Guardia di Finanza who owns fleets of aircraft and ships completely independent by the Italian army.
The main functions of the guard of Finance are four:
financial, Economic,Judicial, security.
The Guardia di Finanza has the task of :

  • countering tax evasion
  • prevent fraud and waste (ensure that public money is used transparently and efficiently)
  • fight corruption
  • combat money laundering
  • combat counterfeiting (il falso made in Italy)
  • fight against trafficking (road, weaponry, protected animals, living things,...)

There is also a department that deals with computer-related fraud, which has operational headquarters in Rome.
The Guardia di Finanza, in his work, is aided by dogs trained to find drugs or money hidden.
During the meeting it was possible to put several questions that have allowed us to understand that each of us with a correct behavior may contribute to respect for legality.
We must be careful, for example, when we buy toys that have the EEC mark; pay attention to the notes carefully observing the image, feel the texture of the paper, feel the digit to verify the roughness, verify that the silver band appears the figure of the banknote. We were also warned to be wary of people who do not know, who approach us and show caring and available: notify an adult immediately because you can not know the true intentions of this person. We also understood that when a guy commits minor offenses, the parents are responsible.
From the conversation we also learned how you can become part of this body and that only by 2000 were admitted even women.
In conclusion, we realized that the Guardia di Finanza is a police force to serve the whole community of citizens for a country that bases its values ​​Nellla democracy, in justice and honesty.
