A huge tax bill worth one and a half million euros : this is what Francesco Totti saw delivered - and which he hastened to pay.

As reported by Repubblica, the former Roma captain , according to an investigation by Finance and then by the Tax Office, did not in fact open a specific VAT number to also pay VAT (he has always paid taxes regularly) on his compensation resulting from his participation in sports, events, hosted on TV immediately after the end of his football career , in 2017.

According to the investigators, the activity of the former Giallorossi champion certainly could not be defined as occasional, but as a real, free profession, which is why he should have opened a VAT number .

In the matter, probably linked to an error by the accountant, Totti decided to intervene by promptly repaying his debt to the State.

And now it cannot be ruled out that the "tile" could turn a spotlight on the former champion's maxi earnings, even after the end of his football career, on which his now ex-wife Ilary Blasi has pointed the finger with the separation, still in discussion in court, asking for high maintenance payments for their three children, Cristian, Chanel and Isabel.
