Potential Sanctions for AC Milan Amidst Financial Investigation

"Given that we are still in the investigative phase and everything must be proven, and that we are only at the stage of accusatory hypotheses, the possible violations are of an economic-managerial nature, and the range of sanctions goes from the fine provided by art. 31 (first paragraph of the FIGC sports justice code), or from the deduction of points in the standings to the exclusion from the championship in case of violation of art.31 paragraph II, something, I want to emphasize, that has never occurred." Milan, Finance in the headquarters: search at CasaMilan. CEO Furlani and the former Gazidis under investigation for the sale. Possible sports sanctions. The possible sanctions for Milan. The sports law expert, Cesare di Cintio, explains what Milan could face, in light of the investigation concerning the transfer of the Rossoneri club from the Elliott fund to Jerry Cardinale's Redbird. On the sports level, explains the lawyer di Cintio, the matter is dealt with "by article 31 paragraphs 1 and 2 of the sports justice code which highlights a violation of an economic-managerial nature, with the lack of production, alteration or falsification of documents also partial functional to the control of the FIGC". Based on the accusatory hypotheses, Milan would have "evaded the rules according to which the federation performs control functions over professional companies and on every transfer of ownership. Only in this case - emphasizes the expert - could the crime provided by art. 2638 of the civil code materialize." THE VIOLATIONS "If the accusatory hypothesis were proven, the violation of art 32 V paragraph CGS FIGC could also be contested, which depending on the severity provides for cases of fine or deduction of points in the standings of one or more points". But there would also be another violation: that - emphasizes Di Cintio "of article 5 of the UEFA regulations, which prohibits a company from having control over more than one club participating in European cups. The Elliott fund also controls Lille, hence the second possible violation. The advantages of this operation? Hard to say at this stage still all hypothetical, but it could be of a fiscal nature or precisely that of being able to control more companies."
