Breaking: Napoli boss suspect of false accounting over Osimhen deal

Napoli boss Aurelio De Laurentiis is put on the register of suspects of false accounting at the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Calcio Finanza broke the news on Tuesday and add that this is a due act after the transmission of the acts by the Neapolitan prosecutors. The main reason for this are alleged fictitious capital gains around the purchase of forward Victor Osimhen in 2020 from Lille.

According to official documents, the Nigerian costed Napoli 76 million euros, but the actual amount could be different. The way Napoli made it happen is through selling four of their players to Lille at the same transfer window.
