Victor Osimhen is not in Naples since September 2024, but he is again the main topic among Napoli fans. He is not coming back, he is scoring goals in Turkey, where he is on a loan until the end of the season but a possible trial is containing his name. The Nigerian striker was among key players in Napoli squad which won the Serie A title in 2023 and scored 26 goals that season. But due to high demandes of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, he failed to get a proper transfer last June and ended up on a loan in Turkey. And now his transfer from Lille to Napoli is the subject of official enquiry.🚨 The Rome Prosecutor’s Office has requested Aurelio De Laurentiis’s indictment for the crime of false accounting related to the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. The prosecutors have also requested a trial for the #Napoli CEO Andrea Chiavelli.📰@CorSport pic.twitter.com/rXWYtZ1A70— Napoli Zone (@TheNapoliZone) February 19, 2025 Italian prosecutors on Wednesday called for Napoli and the club’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis to stand trial for false accounting related to transfers which inludes Victor Osimhen and Kostas Manolas. Napoli, De Laurentiis and one of his key advisors Andrea Chiavelli are suspected by prosecutors in Rome of filing falsified accounts between 2019 and 2021, with their investigation focused on the signings of Kostas Manolas from Roma and Osimhen from Lille. The 70 million-euro deal for Nigeria striker Osimhen — now on loan at Galatasaray — in 2020 raised eyebrows due to four players valued at around 20 million euros moving to Lille, three of whom never played for the French club.Osimhen’s brace keeps Galatasaray unbeatenNapoli and De Laurentiis’ lawyers said that the decision to ask for a trial was “incomprehensible”.”In the documents there are opinions from consultants and independent bodies which demonstrate incontrovertibly that Napoli acted legitimately and in compliance with Italian accounting principles. We are convinced that the proceedings will conclude positively for Napoli and De Laurentiis” said Fabio Fulgeri and Lorenzo Contrada. A source at Napoli told AFP that there is “no chance” of Napoli being penalized by the FIGC even if the club were eventually found guilty in criminal courts, and added that they were confident a trial wouldn’t even take place.##NAJAVA_MECA_8720215##
