‘These things happen’ says Inter Milan President on Tax Probe Developments

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has said there is ‘nothing to worry about’ at Inter Milan despite the Serie A club handing over documents to the police.

Finance officials in Italy ordered several Serie A clubs, including Napoli, AC Milan and Juventus, to hand over documents as they investigated alleged tax avoidance.

Moratti told Inter’s official website: “It was a request for documents.

“It was something they’ve done with about 40 clubs, so I understand how it could happen to us.

“It’s clear they must have good reason to go round all the clubs. I don’t do their job, so we will just have to wait and find out what’s going on.”

He went on to add that documents had been taken ‘that were of interest, just like they’ve taken them from Napoli and from AC Milan and so on and so on.

“These things happen. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Lazio, Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Parma were amongst the other Serie A clubs visited by the Italian Guardia di Finanza, whilst Bari, Siena and Palermo were amongst the high-profile Serie B clubs to be targeted.
