Top names in Serie A face tax probe
Print Edition
Dozens of Serie A and B officials and players including Adriano Galliani, Hernan Crespo and Ezequiel Lavezzi have been targeted by an Italian police investigation into alleged tax evasion and false accounting, reports in Italy said yesterday.
Sky sport Italia and Gazzetta dello Sport both reported that prosecutors in Napoli had opened the investigation, dubbed 鈥楩uorigioco鈥 (Offside), into tax evasion and false accounting, while Gazzetta claimed 鈥渁ssets valued at around 12 million euros鈥 had been seized.
The probe is focusing on suspicions that several players鈥 agents, many of whom are from Argentina, according to a report on gazzetta.it, colluded with club officials and players from Italy鈥檚 top two divisions in a complicated tax-avoidance scheme that benefited all parties and deprived the tax man of millions of euros in revenue.
A total of 64 people were reportedly targeted yesterday, including AC Milan vice-president Galliani, Napoli president Laurentiis, Lazio president Claudio Lotito, former Juventus president Jean-Claude Blanc as well as players鈥 agent Alessandro Moggi, the son of former Juventus official Luciano Moggi.
Crespo and PSG striker Lavezzi, both from Argentina, have also been implicated. Former Inter Milan striker Diego Milito and Atalanta has also been implicated.
