Rome
The headquarters of the FIGC (Italian Football
Federation) were raided on Wednesday as part of
an investigation into the conduct of vice-president
Claudio Lotito, according to Italian news agency
ANSA.
ANSA claim Lotito, who also serves as president o
Lazio and co-owner of Salernitana, is being probe
on accusations of attempted extortion and alleged
illegal funding to football clubs in lower leagues.
Officers from Digos, the Italian Special Branch,
reportedly started searching the Federcalcio office
on the request of the Naples public prosecutor’s
office.
It is claimed the probe was initiated after a
recording of a phone call featuring Lotito was
handed to investigators by Pino Iodice, the directo
general of Lega Pro side Ischia.
