A maxi seizure of almost 59 million euros was ordered by the Brescia review court against Massimo Cellino, former patron of the city football team. The judges accepted the prosecutor's request.
The figure was calculated on the shareholders' equity of “Eleonora immobiliare”, a company that effectively controls the parent company of Brescia and contained in the English trust challenged by the Brescia public prosecutor.
The measure, it is emphasized, does not directly concern the football club but could have repercussions on its operations.
The judges of the Review shared the sentence of the Supreme Court which had established that not only the amount not paid to the tax authorities should be seized, and therefore a folder of 700 thousand euros that Cellino has in recent months then fully paid, but the entire capital unknown to the Tax and that, according to the tax investigation involving Cellino, it would have passed on the English trust attributable to the Sardinian entrepreneur.
