INQUIRY: SPONSOR GHOST
Milan , February 3, 2016 – 09:33
At what point is the search of the sponsor of Inter? What happened to the proposal to Etihad, denied by the airline of the Emirates? What to do with the club’s recent divorce from Tactical Adriano Bacconi? The answers are in the midst of a complicated story, full of braggadocio that has Inter in the dell’ingannata. Maybe a bit ‘too naive. An incredible story outlines, in which are evoked (fake) University football, (fake) royalty, (false) intelligence Arabs and on which there is a (real) investigation of the Rome prosecutors and police in Ostia Antica . They are the ones who put together many pieces seemingly unrelated.
The alarm
Let’s start from the end. In November last two things happen: the owner of a B & amp; Breakfast in Rome, Roberto Biordi, looks for a complaint to the police. He says that, from July 24, he rented a room for that Valerio Lattanzio, who said he was on a mission from Inter. He also said that the bill would have paid the club’s once completed its task: find a property to create a University of Sport. Lattanzio research involves the same Biordi (in exchange for a future commission), who helps him find the right structure, a large 4-star hotel, not far from Fiumicino. The place is perfect, also hosted football teams in retreat in Rome, the offer is 30 million euro. The owner is interested, begin meetings. The hotel – offers the verbal Biordi – over the months you can also see two men Inter’s Adriano Bacconi (known face of the Sunday Sport, who until recently was a contributor to the technical area: the relationship, perhaps he not coincidentally, has now been discontinued) and the then director general of Inter Marco Fassone (released in September by the company for other reasons), which apparently was unaware of the hypothetical sale. Certainly the deal is prolonged and one day, November 9, Biordi realizes that Lattanzio left the room and ran with it to pay 4,520 euro, which is why we appeal to the police. On the same days, arriving at Inter communication of the season. The writing just the owner of the structure identified by Lattanzio for its mysterious Sports University. What should have received 30 million and which, however, meanwhile Lattanzio had asked for money for the mediation. The email that arrives on November 12 to the secretariat of the Inter has a rather alarming: “Attempted fraud.” Property manager (which will in turn report) Inter tells what the police already know: Lattanzio assured to have been mandated by the Nerazzurri to buy his hotel “in order to transform it into a university football that would be responsible Roberto Baggio (…) The attempt failed, however, was to extort money as a down payment in the context of a safe purchase from the company supported by the Inter Shuroq, Arab society. ” Inter trasecolano: first because they have never thought of buying a hotel, because according to Lattanzio know him well.
The sponsor Etihad
In September 2015, by means of Bacconi, Lattanzio and a mysterious lawyer (who claims to intimate of the royal family of the Emirates), they were presented at the top of Inter as intermediaries Etihad. They said that the airline intends to become the main sponsor of the club and want to start a negotiation begins for real, though – be a coincidence – just type “Valerio Lattanzio” on Google and the first result that appears is an invitation to pay caution. But the interest of the Arabs is plausible (Emirates is a sponsor of AC Milan) and is Lattanzio that the lawyer produce over the months a series of emails that appear to certified (even one from a supposed government of the Emirates). Lattanzio sets its own fees (2.5% for sponsorship and 8% for business later), then on October 6 he asks an official mandate authorizing it to negotiate on behalf of Inter with Etihad; and it gets to this point Lattanzio has more or less achieved its purpose: the letters signed by Inter will be presented by the hotel. Began a long series of contacts and meetings. Inter are persuaded to overcome caution when Lattanzio responds with a letter apparently written by James Hogan, president of the airline, which puts on paper the maxiofferta: 25 million for five years. The consequences are important: Inter feels strong in the deal with Pirelli, the current main sponsor, which proposes the extension of the contract to figures well below those of the ‘Arab’.
The newspapers, the denial and the mesh 2017
The newspapers come to know of the alleged offer Etihad, write about it and the airline denies publicly is Sunday, October 18. Inter is concerned, but the answer is that members of Lattanzio and denial serves to protect the confidentiality. Follow other email and other meetings, but nothing concrete is done. We arrive in November, Inter quickly: should among other things to communicate what Nike put on their shirts next season. Lattanzio and the lawyer they apologize, they take time, they promise a phone call from James Hogan to the ad Inter Michael Bolingbroke. Nobody called. The lawyer as justification forwards the email to a self-styled sheikh owner of Etihad, who takes responsibility for having stopped the to. The trust is in short supply, so the offer doubles: the royal family is now interested in buying Inter, whole or in part. The doubts are getting panic when he gets the email owner.
The complaint
The Inter tries to investigate the events in Rome without his knowledge. The lawyer shareholder Lattanzio not take it well: send an email to fire. He points out that no one has permission to investigate him, that there is an ongoing attempt to discredit him and that on the matter are also investigating the intelligence Arabs. A little too much. On the other hand you are moving (finally) with Etihad, the real one: Bolingbroke and Michael Gandler, commercial director of Inter, contact the world summits of the company categorically deny that I ever wanted to sponsor the Inter and knowing that odd couple . Meanwhile, police in Rome called the club and the circle is closed. Maybe not without consequences (currently Inter still has a sponsor), but with a mega scam foiled.
