MILAN, 28 March 2011 - The former AC Milan full-back and Rossoneri star, Paolo Maldini, has been indicted for corruption and illegally accessing information systems. This was decided by Milan judge, Luigi Varanelli.

IN COURT — Maldini, according to the charges, allegedly paid off an official of the Italian inland revenue department to avoid tax investigations and referred to him for an illegal tax check regarding a property deal he was involved in, in Tuscany. The former Italian international was present at the hearing in Milan as the judge read his ruling, also present in the Milan Law Courts, at the same time, was Italian Prime Minister and President of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi.

SETTLEMENT — The hearing will take place on 21 June next in the Milan Law Courts. Judge Luigi Varanelli brought charges against another 12 people. In the preliminary hearing, which concluded today, 39 people had been summoned to court, among them employees of the Italian inland revenue department and accountants, who are accused of having helped dozens of businessmen and company owners to avoid tax investigations and receive favourable treatment. Some of the accused chose to settle out of court, others the summary procedure as defined before the judge,others, like Maldini for the normal procedure. The former AC Milan defender, according to the investigations carried out by prosecutor Paola Pirotta, contacted an official of the Italian inland revenue department, Luciano Bressi, who was imprisoned during the enquiry, for avoiding tax investigations. Bressi reached an agreement with the prosecution to return a million euro to the tax office.

FEE — According to the investigations, until 23 June 2009 Maldini allegedly bribed Bressi offering him not only his office fee(around 40,000 euro per annum)", but also "special power of attorney" for his wife's company, Velvet Sas, "from which huge amounts of money flowed out 'under the table' (sums not inferior to 185,000 euro)." Furthermore, through Bressi, he is alleged to have paid to access "reserved information" from the tax office regarding Alessandro P.B., who was a partner in a company the ex-footballer wanted to join regarding a property deal. Maldini, represented by Danilo Buongiorno, has always maintained his innocence, declaring that it was Bressi who subtracted funds from the Velvet company.

Great player, but I never liked Maldini the person.

He comes out and says some stupid stuff sometimes, he's not the saint that he appears to be.

Ok, couple of things:

Maldini doesn't actually look like Charlotte Church.

Charlotte Church is attractive...WHAT ?

Neets, did that link work for you ?

 

[LadyRed]

Yeah, thank you. The first link didn't work, but someone has posted youtube links to it on that same thread.

He's such a nice guy. I might get a 'Free Maldini' T-shirt printed.

Yeah, I've always liked Nesta.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Nesta can fuck off. Wasn't he the one who blatantly handballed it for a penalty that wasn't given, leading them to go up the other end and make it 3-0?

Although we still won I suppose.

If you think about it, he helped to make it a better final, we should thank him really, and Paolo for scoring the first goal.
