None under investigation, for now, but the subject of the attention of the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has ordered the delivery of the deeds, the documents and the emails referring to the “economic-commercial relations” in the transfer market with sports attorney Abdilgafar Ramadani, born in North Macedonia in 1963 and resident in Ireland, in Dublin, for the period from 2018 to today. Ramadani, known as “the Mino Raiola dell’Est”, is already under investigation for failure to submit the tax return for the tax years from 2018 to 2019, for money laundering and self-laundering.
The list of 11 teams (not investigated)
