It comes from the accounts man inside Milan, or rather the administrative director Aldo Savi, one of the main clues on which the investigation by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office into the ownership of the Rossoneri club is based. The hypothesis is that the Devil isn’t really from the bottom RedBird but is still under the influence of the fund Elliottnot declared to the supervisory authority Federcalcio.
This is what the Corriere della Sera in its investigation after that, in recent weeks, the CEO has been under investigation for the hypothesis of obstructing the supervisory authority from 2022 Giorgio Furlani and its predecessor 2018-2022 Ivan Gazidis. In the hands of the Guardia di Finanza there is also an internal document within the Rossoneri club: a sort of “presentation” of the current structure prepared by the Milan management for the talks at the end of 2023 with “investors from the Arab world”, “whose scheme – we read in the newspaper – it made the investigators think “that the vendor loan”, i.e. the controversial loan made in 2022 by the seller Elliott to the buyer RedBird, still “guarantees Elliott the ownership of part of Milan”. this document was a draft sent by a RedBird fund manager, Elizabeth Owento the administrative director of Milan, Aldo Savi: and that it was Savi, summoned as a witness by the investigators, who gave a problematic interpretation on the real ownership of the Rossoneri”, underlines the CorSera.
Once questioned by the GdF on the draft in question, Savi defined it as “strange” because in his opinion it envisaged the sale of a portion of RedBird’s debt towards Elliott (without the fund being consulted) and not the possible sale of shares of Milan held by Cardinale’s group. Savi then told the investigators his impression that the daily management of Milan still weighs heavily Elliott’s “strong influence”. through former fund men such as Scaroni, Furlani and Cocirio, but also as the head of the sports area Hendrik Almstadt and Elliott’s spokesperson in Italy, Marcella Verini.
