He had more than 200 euros in his backpack and was ready to take the plane to Dubai: Luigi Scavone (on the right in the photo), 000 years old, former police officer, boss of the Alma temp agencies (figuring the fairings Ducati of the Pramac Racing team) and Idealavoro (appearing on the flanks of the MV Agusta Forward Moto45), and also president of the first division basketball team Alma Trieste, was arrested by the Guardia di Finanza at his home in Naples.
The man actually runs a veritable empire, with around thirty companies employing 17.000 people and making 400 million euros in turnover in 2017. Besides Luigi Scavone, two other people found themselves in prison, and seven others under house arrest .
According to investigators, Scavone allegedly set up “un système sophistiqué et impressionnant pour escroquer le fisc grâce à un mécanisme d’indemnisation fiscale indue”. Selon la presse italienne, il aurait ainsi usurpé 70 million euros to the tax authorities, that is, exactly the value of the assets and companies sequestered this morning by the financial police of Bergamo, Salerno, Cagliari, Reggio Emilia, Naples, Caserta and Vibo Valentia.
Scavone is charged with the crime of criminal association for the purpose of tax evasion.
What will be the repercussions of this affair on the Pramac Racing team led by Paolo Campinoti, managed by Francesco Guidotti, officially based in the United Kingdom and which is lining up this year? Jack Miller et Francesco Bagnaia ? Even if Alma is one of its two big sponsors, we can assume that they will be weak, the Italian-British team being directly supported by the Borgo Panigale factory…
The situation will undoubtedly be more difficult for the team MV Agusta Forward of Giovanni Cuzari, who competes in Moto2 Dominique Aegerter et Stefano Manzi, and also benefits from the generosity of one of the Italian leader’s temp companies, Idealavoro…
