The investigation into the alleged capital gains linked to the transfers of footballers between Lazio and Salernitana, which took place between 2017 and 2021, has reached Arezzo. The Tivoli Public Prosecutor's Office has forwarded the investigation documents to the Arezzo magistrates for territorial jurisdiction, following the discovery that the server containing the relevant communications is located in the territory of the Tuscan city.
In April 2023, on the orders of the Tivoli Public Prosecutor's Office, the Guardia di Finanza carried out searches at the headquarters of SS Lazio and US SalernitanaThe operation aimed to investigate the alleged fictitious capital gains generated through artificial valuations of the players sold between the two companies, with the issuing of false invoices.
Among those under investigation are prominent names such as Lazio president Claudio Lotito and former sports director Igli Tare. The investigations are focused on analyzing financial transactions and communications between the clubs, looking for evidence that can confirm the accusations of manipulation of the market values of the players involved in the transfers. Investigators believe that these operations allowed the two clubs to obtain illicit economic advantages, through a system of exchanging players at inflated values, useful for improving the balance sheets of their respective teams.
