Lazio & Claudio Lotito Vigorously Respond to Alleged Phone Call Leak: “A Vile Act” | OneFootball

A very serious episode has occurred: my mobile number has probably been cloned and a telephone conversation has been recorded fraudulently. This is a vile and intolerable act, which I condemn with the utmost firmness, since it represents a clear violation of my privacy and the principles of legality. I have full confidence in the work of the investigators and I trust that the authorities will be able to identify as soon as possible those responsible for this very serious attack on personal communications, ensuring they are brought to justice.

SS Lazio, the collective heritage of the Biancoceleste fans, intends to defend its image and integrity with absolute firmness. The club reaffirms its founding values ​​and the over a century-old history that make it a sporting and cultural symbol. Any attempt to damage its good name will be vigorously rejected, in the interest of all supporters and the Roman community who identify with our colors. The club strongly condemns the defamatory statements and veiled accusations that appeared in a video published by Mr. Juan Bernabé. This is a former employee who has already been removed from the club, who has even illegally occupied a property owned by the club in Formello. The statements and threats to reveal phantom “internal episodes” are completely unfounded and unjustifiably offend the honor of SS Lazio. The club will not hesitate to protect its image in every appropriate venue against anyone who attempts to tarnish it with false and instrumental statements. The temporal coincidence between the video in question and the recent unauthorized release of a stolen video containing a private conversation of the President of Lazio is of great concern. SS Lazio notes that these episodes, just a few hours apart, could be part of an orchestrated plan aimed at destabilizing the Biancoceleste environment at a crucial moment of the season. A coordinated attack of this nature, aimed at undermining the serenity of the club, its managers and the team, is considered an extremely serious matter. The club reassures fans and members that it has already filed a formal complaint with the competent authorities. It asks that full light be shed on these events and to verify the possible existence of a real “control room” behind these attempts at destabilization. SS Lazio trusts in the work of the Judiciary and the police to identify as soon as possible those responsible for these coordinated media attacks. In parallel, the Club will continue to maintain maximum internal vigilance to prevent and counter any further action damaging to its reputation. The entire Biancoceleste family – from the players, to the technical and management staff, to our fans – remains united and focused exclusively on sporting objectives. Any attempt to distract or weaken the group will be firmly rejected. In this decisive moment of the season, the Company and its supporters are united around the team: all together we will support our players committed to achieving important goals. Unity of purpose, mutual trust and shared determination will be the strongest response to any external attack and the engine to achieve the results that the team has shown it deserves with hard work.
