The Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office has closed the investigation file against Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The investigation alleges the crime of false accounting in relation to the sale from Roma of defender Kostas Manolas in the summer of 2019.

According to ANSA, the new accusation is part of the investigation into alleged fictitious capital gains surrounding the purchase of striker Victor Osimhen in 2020 from the French team Lille.

For this last accusation, the Capitoline prosecutors had closed the investigation last January.

The lawyers of Napoli’s patron, Lorenzo Contrada and Fabio Fulgeri, announce that their client will be ready to be heard by investigators “to clarify the entire affair”.
