Furlani addresses investigation into Milan: 'There is no hidden partner'

AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani has reiterated the club’s ownership situation amid the ongoing investigation by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office. 

A report from La Repubblica yesterday (to which the lawyer Felice Raimondo also responded) suggested that there was a Dutch fund implicated in the ownership of Milan in what was the latest twist in the saga.

This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera talked about the investigation by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office into the transfer of ownership of AC Milan from Elliott Management to RedBird Capital, suggesting a ‘mole’ had expressed doubts.

Now, La Repubblica have relayed some comments from Giorgio Furlani (via Calciomercato.com) which seeks to address the rumours from the past couple of days in the papers.

“99.8% of Milan’s capital is controlled by RedBird, there is no discrepancy compared to what was declared in Italy and what was instead said to the SEC, the American control body. And there is no hidden partner,” he said.

La Gazzetta dello Sport gave a detailed round-up of what we know so far regarding the investigation recently, while the brilliant Felice Raimondo picked apart the various cases that could be brought against Milan.
