“The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with the strictest accounting principles. No member of Inter is currently under investigation. No formal objection has been lodged. As stated in the statement of the prosecutor, these are only preliminary investigations,” adds the leadership of Inter. It is the second time a Serie A club has faced a raid by Italian justice, after Juventus in November this year.
Juventus offices in Turin and Milan were thoroughly searched by order of justice. La Vecchia Signora would have messed with the transfer values of some players between 2019 and 2021, in order to get the financial house in order. Juventus would also have sent invoices for non-existent transactions. According to the judiciary, this would involve a total amount of approximately fifty million euros. Chairman Andrea Agnelli, vice-chairman Pavel Nedved and former technical director Fabio Paratici, now employed by Tottenham Hotspur, are the suspects in this case.
