Ferrero investigated: "Samp money to pay debts and finance a movie"

Negligible in terms of football, the sale of Pedro Obiang in West Ham should also remain in the annals as the one that will make fans of Sampdoria even more angry. The president of the blucerchiati Mbadimo Ferrero would have distracted 1,159 million of the 6.5 million obtained from this operation to illegally finance their own companies. And this is only one of the badumptions for which Er Viperetta is the subject of an investigation for embezzlement, fraud, issuing and using false invoices, self-laundering and use of funds, badets or benefits of illegal origin with his daughter Vanessa, his nephew Giorgio, his partner Manuela Ramunni and directors Marco Valerio Guercini and Andrea Diamanti an investigation that resulted in the sequestration of 2.6 million euros yesterday. The GDF Evaluation Unit also placed seals on an apartment on Renai Street, in Florence, on behalf of Ramunni, and blocked 200,000 euros on Sampdoria's accounts. The company says that it is alien, the FIGC opens investigations.

The Obiang operation

The sale of Obiang, in June 2015, marks the beginning of a chain of disguised operations: "Are missing – highlight the afternoon Sabina Calabretta and the addition of Rodolfo Sabelli – through the preparation of a contract signed by Sampdoria and Vici srl cleverly ordered to simulate the existence of a valid bargaining cause ", is the restructuring of the sports center of Bogliasco where Samp trains. Two elements, among others, support the hypothesis of investigation. The total inadequacy of Vici to carry out this work (administered by Vanessa Ferrero, occupies 60 cinemas of the family) and the absolute coincidence with which the Vici will tell, through 17 cash checks, 805 000 euros to Livingston spa. The latter is the bankrupt airline of Ferrero, completed in 2010 in the judicial administration and debtor of Farvem Real Estate srl, still of the Ferrero group. "This is quite clear – sums up the investigating judge – since the Vici, with the aforementioned provision, has paid a debt of another company attributable to the Ferrero group". The false invoices would then allow the Samp to avoid 209 000 euros of VAT.

Equitalia and the movie

The remaining portion of the million that would have been presented to the team is then used by Ferrero for two other purposes. The first is the balance of an Equitalia portfolio of 102.666 euros. The second is the payment of 235,000 euros to Film 9 srl and V Production srl, awarded to their daughter Vanessa and their nephew Giorgio, to finance the film "The ignorant brothers".

l & # 39; apartment

The last chapter of the survey from the Bankitalia reports concerns the acquisition of the film circuit Vittorio Cecchi Gori. Ferrero would have removed the intermediary role on behalf of companies run by his daughter or related subjects, only to create fictitious causes of work with them. The financiers have identified five and the judge has designated the "obvious anomalies": the form and substance of the claims were identical, all concluded on the same date and all motivated in the same way that the Ferrero lump sums are not judged . With this money, 500,000 euros divided into 4 bank transfers with an identical balance date, he would have paid part of his partner's apartment. The remaining 252 thousand euros would come from royalties paid by the group companies to use the Ferrero logo as a concession. "An obvious reuse – writes the investigating judge – of the proceeds of crime."
