Gigi D’Alessio, the arrested tax official: «The practice? I took 20 thousand euros.” The singer: «False, I will sue»

Gigi D’Alessio’s response arrives after his name ended up among the wiretaps that led to the arrest of Riccardo Cameo, an official of the Revenue Agency, and two other managers. «The statements of a gentleman I don’t know and with whom I have never had any relationship, reported in the article published today in the Roman edition of the Corriere della Sera entitled: “The D’Alessio practice? Got 20 thousand euros”, are absolutely false and the result of the imagination of this subject. The alleged facts that he reports about me never happened and do not belong to my lifestyle. I have already instructed my lawyers to immediately file a complaint with the Judicial Authority.” Thus the singer denies, in a note, the press reports that implicate him. But let’s see together what happened.

The investigation

The investigation, conducted by Public Prosecutor Carlo Villani, revealed a network of thirty individuals, including well-known tax experts, accused of manipulating tax returns for their clients. Among the names involved, that of the famous singer Gigi D’Alessio stands out. According to what was reported by Corriere della Sera, during an intercepted conversation between Cameo tax expert Maria Grazia Durantini and her niece Sonia Donzetti, Cameo claimed to have “fixed” a tax matter for Gigi D’Alessio, receiving 20,000 euros in exchange.

The interception

In the conversation, Cameo expresses concern about the possible legal consequences of his actions. «After practicing… what’s the name of that singer over there? Oh yes, Gigi D’Alessio… I was really shocked,” said Cameo, adding that he feared being arrested every time he saw the police pass by. From what has been reported, the official clearly says that he received 20,000 euros to rearrange the singer’s tax declaration, specifying: “I had rearranged his declaration but it’s not that I didn’t make him pay.”

The role of Gigi D’Alessio

The mention of Gigi D’Alessio in the intercepted conversation casts shadows on the figure of the well-known singer, whose involvement could damage his public reputation. The artist immediately distanced himself from this story, reporting that he had already instructed his lawyers to immediately file a complaint with the Judicial Authority. Gigi D’Alessio was involved in previous investigations by the Prosecutor’s Office between 2016 and 2017, linked to accounting crimes through his company Ggd srl: although some of these proceedings have been archived, the practices that Cameo talks about could date back to that period .
