Capital gains of 70 million Finance at Inter

MILANO

Budgets adjusted to “respect the parameters of financial fair play” required by UEFA and to register for international championships. This is the hypothesis on which the Milan prosecutor works, which yesterday sent the investigators of the Guardia di Finanza to acquire the players’ contracts, the documents on the negotiations, the commissions of the sports prosecutors but also the forensic copy of the emails in the offices of Inter. and the Serie A football league (where the copy of the contracts is deposited). At the center of the investigation, for now without suspects, born in the wake of the Turin dossier on Juventus, the over 70 million capital gains that Steven Zhang’s team made with the sale of youth players between 2018 and 2019.

A dozen suspicious transactions, listed in a report that the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Gdf filed to the prosecutors. These include the sales to Genoa of Andrei Ionut Radu for 8 million euros (capital gain of 7,763 million) and Andrea Pinamonti for 19.5 million (capital gain of 19 million); the sales to Atalanta of Davide Bettella for 7 million (capital gain of 6,949 million) and of Marco Carraro for 5 million, (capital gain of 4,455 million). The investigation, opened by the deputy prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli and by the substitute Giovanni Polizzi for false corporate communications, is exploratory, launched after the explosion of the Juventus case. The investigators also wanted to verify any irregularities of the Milanese teams. Milan were immediately excluded, because in those years they did not have the need to respect the parameters of financial fair play instead imposed by Uefa on Inter. That it would have realized capital gains of at least apparently “alarming” value, so much so as to suggest a “window dressing” operation (beautification of accounts), as stated in the decree for the acquisition of documents signed by the magistrates. The same ones who among other things investigate the alleged tax fraud of the Macedonian prosecutor Fali Abdilgafar Ramadani, one of the major agents in the world of football, who would not have paid taxes in Italy on profits made in the sale of footballers.

In an official note, Inter “confirms that it has provided all the documentation required by the public prosecutor to verify the regular accounting of the relative capital gains”. And he stresses that “the company’s financial statements are drawn up in compliance with the most rigorous accounting principles”. Even in the prosecutor’s office, caution is exhorted on a complex matter in which there is no absolutely valid criterion for establishing the value of a player. my.ser. —
