MILAN (Reuters) – Italy’s tax police obtained documents from the headquarters of soccer club Inter Milan and the country’s top flight league Serie A in an ongoing preliminary investigation over alleged false accounting, the Milan prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.
Nobody is under investigation at the moment, prosecutors said in a statement.
The documents are related to the sale of some players by Inter Milan during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 fiscal years, as prosecutors seek to determine whether the soccer club duly booked the related capital gains, the statement added.
Inter Milan, which won Serie A last season and is the current leader of the league, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Serie A declined to comment.
