Sampdoria owner Massimo Ferrero has had some of his assets seized after being caught up in an investigation into financial crimes.
Reports yesterday morning claimed Italy’s financial police had seized ‘over €200,000’ of Ferrero’s assets, as well as ‘valuable property’ he owned in Florence.
They explained the movie mogul is part of an investigation headed by the Special Unit of the Currency Police into alleged fraud, embezzlement, false invoices and money laundering.
ANSA, in particular, wrote how €1.2m ‘disappeared’ from the deal that took Pedro Obiang to West Ham United three years ago.
Ferrero is not the only person involved in the case as Sport Mediaset states there are five other suspects, who have had ‘more than €2m’ seized.
The 67-year-old purchased Samp in the summer of 2014 and has established the Blucerchiati as a Serie A club.
