The Attorney General of the Italian Football Federation, Giuseppe Shine, began working on the files of other clubs, after the shocking sentence imposed by the Federal Court against Juventus.
On Friday, January 20, the court decided to deduct 15 points from Juventus’ balance for the current season 2022-2023 in the context of investigations into transfer deals, which led to the team’s decline in the ranking table from third to tenth place.
And after completing the Juventus file, it seems that the public prosecutor began to open the files of other clubs, and it is clear that the role has now come to Napoli, according to what was mentioned by the “Calcio Mercato” website (transfer market) italian.

And the site stated that Napoli – in addition to other clubs – will be in the second stage in the framework of the investigation into the operations of earnings from transfer deals.
The Public Prosecutor focuses his work on the Napoli contract deal with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, which took place in the summer of 2020, from French “Lille”.
Osimhen moved from Lille to Napoli on July 31, 2020, according to a deal in which the Italian club paid 72 million euros, in addition to 10 million in the incentive system, and a contract that extends for 5 seasons.
On the other hand, Napoli sent 4 young players worth 20 million euros to join Lille, but they had no impact with the French team.
The four players are goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, his teammates Terry Manzi, Ciro Palmieri and Luigi Liguori, and these three were terminated at a later time, according to Calciomercato.
Although Italian law has exonerated Napoli in the process, the public prosecutor is asking to review some documents related to the way President Aurelio De Laurentiis managed the deal.

On June 21, 2022, the Italian police specializing in financial matters, known as the “Guardia di Finanza”, conducted searches at the club’s headquarters in Castel Volturno, as well as in Rome and France, to collect documents related to the Osimhen transfer deal to Naples.
And if the president is found guilty, the consequences of this could be disastrous for the team, which leads the Italian league table by a comfortable margin, with the first leg approaching the end.
Napoli, led by Italian Luciano Spalletti, leads the league with 50 points, 12 points ahead of Milan, knowing that the second played one less match.
The southern Italian team is seeking to crown the Italian League for the third time in its history, having previously won the Calcio twice (1986-1987 and 1989-1990), with the late Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona.
