Trouble with the taxman for the attacker, the case dates back to 2012 at the time of the transfer from Juventus to Genoa
Ciro Immobile guilty of tax evasion for a fact of 2012: the Lazio forward was condemned by the fifth civil section of the Cassation a compensate the personal income tax not paid ten years ago for the services of his attorney Alessandro Moggi. It is Repubblica to reconstruct the story, which dates back to the time of the sale of the property from Juventus to Genoa (the clubs are strangers) for 4 million euros. The negotiation that brings the striker to the rossoblù is led by the son of Luciano Moggi and it is precisely his position that creates problems for the Revenue Agency: officially the agent was as a consultant for Genoa while according to the magistrates he acted also as a prosecutor of Property.
For this reason Immobile he should have paid the personal income tax relating to Moggi’s performance in his name, which the tip did not do because – this is his thesis also during the trial – at the time he would have given an exclusive mandate to another agent, Marco Sommella. However, investigations have shown direct relations between Moggi and Immobile both through some payments from Sommella to Moggi with the reason for “real estate compensation” and through the discovery of a manuscript by Moggi himself which listed the players he assisted, including the attacker.
The verdict of the Supreme Court, published in July, rejected the player’s appeal against the sentence issued in 2019 by the Campania Tax Commission for “the existence of employee income subtracted from taxation” for which “the higher Irpef was determined” due for 2012 “.
