The Fina Ethics Commission condemned him for “multiple violations of the Statute and the Code of Ethics”
Two years of disqualification for Paolo Barelli. The ethics commission of Fina (International Swimming Federation), which had already suspended the Italian executive – president of Federnuoto since 2000 – from any activity even in Italy, today condemned him on the basis of “multiple violations of the Statute and the Code of Ethics of Fina “.
The accusations
—
In particular, reference is made to a “unilateral” contract for an addendum between the European Federation and Federnuoto which would have had a benefit between 500 thousand and one and a half million euros. The famous dispute over the “double invoicing” of the works for the swimming pools of the Foro Italico is also indicated among the accusations. Barelli’s disqualification will be calculated from 14 September 2022, the date of the provisional suspension.
The reaction
—
Barelli immediately intervened on the sentence: “I will appeal to the Arbitration Court of Sport and I will win. The Fina sentence is groundless, absurd and infamous”.
