Finance police early on Tuesday searched the premises of some 30 soccer players and agents and seized assets worth 12 million euros in a massive probe into 64 people suspected of systematic tax evasion and issuing false invoices in the buying and selling of footballers.
Those under investigation include former Juventus CEO Jean-Claude Blanc, Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis, AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani, Lazio President Claudio Lotito, ex Napoli player Ezequiel Lavezzi, ex footballer Hernan Crespo, and agent Alessandro Moggi.
The probe by Naples prosecutors began in 2012 and involves 35 Series A and B football clubs and 100 individuals.
