Napoli, trial for Aurelio De Laurentiis in the capital gains case: Here are the updates

The Napoli owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, was accused of false accounting after the Osimhen operation, but today he has been sent to trial. Here are the latest details, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport:

“The prosecutors accused him of false accounting for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. In the summer of 2019, in particular, Napoli signed the Greek defender Kostas Manolas from Roma, in a deal that also included the Guinean midfielder Amadou Diawara, who moved to the capital. The following year, the acquisition of Osimhen was completed, involving the Greek goalkeeper Karnezys and three youth players, Manzi, Palmieri, and Liguori, whose value was allegedly ‘inflated’.”

According to the Prosecutor's Office, Napoli allegedly resorted to fictitious capital gains and accounting tricks capable of altering the company's financial statements. This thesis was strongly rejected by President De Laurentiis (who never attended the hearings) and his closest collaborator, CEO Chiavelli, Napoli's financial manager, who last time, on November 6, made spontaneous statements, reaffirming the correctness and transparency of Napoli's operations and emphasizing that no fraudulent actions were committed.”

“We recall that on the sporting front, Napoli, De Laurentiis, and Chiavelli face no risk of penalties, fines, or disqualifications. On this matter, FIGC prosecutor Chiné already ruled in 2022 opting for dismissal. A few months ago, Chiné requested and obtained the investigation documents from the Rome Prosecutor's Office for a possible review of the case, but no new facts emerged from the documents that would reopen the trial,” adds La Gazzetta.

The trial for the capital gains case is also postponed to December 2 of the next year, 2026.
