Il president from the FIGC Gabriele Gravina was registered in the register of suspects and it was today questioned by Rome prosecutors within the scope ofinvestigation on his alleged wrongdoings. In Gravina they would be the crimes of self-laundering and embezzlement were contested. The formal registration in the register it would have taken place at the same time as the beginning of the interrogation which had been requested by Gravina himself to “clarify his position”. Despite having asked to be heard, Gravina would have been entered in the register for his protection, in order to be able to have his defenders participate in the preliminary investigation and as a necessary act also to have the “protections” granted to suspects, such as secreting the report of the hearing. The confrontation with the investigators, which lasted about an hour, took place as part of the investigation initiated by the National Anti-Mafia Directorate into alleged illicit activities carried out by Gravina. The verbal dell’interrogation it will therefore end up in the procedure in which the investigator must line up a series of pieces and untie some knots. However, the chief prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi has scheduled a meeting with the holders of the proceedings which will serve to outline a sort of ‘road map’ of the steps to be taken.
Legal Gravina: “FIGC President is an offended person”
“Due to the intolerable exploitations and distorting reconstructions of the truth of the events that have called him into question in recent days, despite not being under investigationthis morning Gabriele Gravina asked to be heard to clarify his position and the circumstances of which he was the victim. The hearing took place this afternoon at the offices of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Rome“. These are the words of the lawyers of the president from the Football Federation Leo Mercurio and Fabio Viglione, who gave their version of the facts in a note. The decision to appear before the magistrates, add the lawyers of the president of the Football Federation, “was developed in order to protect his image and by virtue of the full trust he places in the magistrates who are following the case”. In this matter, conclude Mercurio and Viglione, “our client is an offended person, for this reason we hope that light will be shed as soon as possible on what is emerging as a real dossier activity, for which we also hope that the instigators will be identified“.
