Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis was questioned yesterday as part of an investigation into alleged false accounting in the Victor Osimhen deal.
When the Partenopei signed the Super Eagles striker back in September 2020, the deal was valued at €76,356,819, which included the apparent market value of four players who made the switch to Lille as part of the transfer.
The market value for these players total around €20m, breaking down as follows: Ciro Palmieri -€7,026,349, Orestis Karnez- is – €5,128,205, Luigi Liguo- ri – €4,071,247 and Claudio Manzi – €4,021,762. Investigators allege that these market values were inflated to help Napoli’s books.
Calciomercato.com de- tails how Napoli president De Laurentiis arrived at the FIGC prosecutor’s office in Rome on Wednesday accompanied by his lawyer Fabio
Fulgeri, where he was subjected to around 90 minutes of questioning by deputy prosecutor Giuseppe Cascini as part of the investigation into false accounting.
Liguori spoke out about the situation back in 2021, adding fuel to the fire, saying: “It wasn’t a deal done for us, for our futures. It was for something else. We got pushed out of Napoli with ‘guilt’. Because we didn’t know anything.”
