Brescia at risk series C: ghost headquarters, no site, zero employees, here is the Alfieri group from which Cellino feels swindled
Cellino denounces a scam. But the risks of dealing with the Alfieri group were evident, despite the alleged headquarters in via Monte Napoleone. The goalkeeper of the very rich building on demand replies: «Alfieri group? Never heard «
Five minutes and thirty seconds. It is the time that it takes a modest expert of corporate practices to frame the Alfieri Group SPV srl. A accountant would liquidate the practice in three minutes. To an entrepreneur navigated like Massimo Cellino, Which has seen all the colors, it would be enough to smell the air. And instead the president and owner of the Brescia Calcio He went to close a delicate transaction with the Alfieri group. Now the club risks falling into Serie C. « We asked for 2.4 million in tax credits – said Cellino – and they retained about 15%. There were those who offered us 25%, so a greater discount, but our tax author was quiet, had guarantees from the Bank of Italy: now it is desperate « .
Doubts and suspicions
But James Bond did not want to put together doubts, suspicions and derive their conclusions.
1) The name: Alfieri Group. It takes effect, gives the idea of who knows what size and perimeter of the activity; But there is only this redundant name of a tiny company that does not even have a website.
2) History: no known operation, none in the sector he has ever heard of it.
3) History bis: company born a few months ago, in October 2024.
4) The property: 100% is formally in the hands of Gianluca Alfieri, A 25 -year -old boy from the province of Avellino who lives in the town of Serino (6,600 inhabitants) and has no experience in the company’s reference sector, or the securitizations of credits.
5) The management structure: at the minimum terms, no employee, one administrator, that is, the same owner.
6) The headquarters: via Monte Napoleone 8 in Milan (large and luxurious building purchased from Kering For 1.3 billion) which makes a lot of chic and VIP and high finance, only that the goalkeeper of the very rich building on demand replies: «Alfieri group? Never heard ». Safe? Opens A full -bodied condominium column: « It is not there, I told him ».
The postal order
But have they ever seen Alfieri and Cellino? And the president or one of his professionals have ever been to the offices (ghost) of via Monte Napoleone? The practice to credit the Alfieri group as a counterpart of Brescia Calcio could also deepen another aspect: the miserable share capital (25 thousand euros) which is then the last guarantee that a company offers. Gianluca Alfieri signed it with a Non -transferable circular postal order of the Naples34 branch of Italian post office.
The boy and the president
Imagine that a 25 -year -old boy without experience in financial operations has managed to cage Cellino is difficult. Yet it seems that others (Trapani, for example) have fallen. The club ensures that they have purchased tax credits from the Alfieri Group, 15% discounted to pay the contributions relating to November, December, January and February for over 1.4 million, which are non -existent for the Revenue Agency. Cellino’s lawyers are preparing the use of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office to avoid penalties and relegation. They claim to have payments accounting.
100 million business?
Two aspects must still be well understood and derive from statements by Cellino himself: « They sold (Alfieri group, editor’s note) tax credits – said the president – for more than 100 million to many companies »; «Our tax author was quiet, he had guarantees from Bank of Italy». Does the boy who came from Avellino and landed at the (virtual) headquarters in via Monte Napoleone from October 2024 to today would therefore have a 100 million turnover set? And what were the guarantees of Bankitalia since the alleged group of group Alfieri is that of the vehicle for the securitization of credits but does not there is the name Alfieri in the list (public) of the-company companies held by Bankitalia? They are two fundamental passages to define, possibly, the perimeter of the alleged fraud.
The three checks
It is not excluded that Alfieri is a figurehead in a wider and more complex system. There is another operation that leaves some doubts about the role of the young Irpino. The capitalization of a new temporary work company registered to him 100%: the documents indicate that Gianluca Alfieri paid 700 thousand euros with three checks Intesa Sanpaolo of the Rome Tiburtina counter. His money? Who is behind the boy? But above all, how do you trust?
