This time more than one of his dribbles it's a kick, a tackle, a stop. Yes, because from today, according to his lawyers, Diego Armando Maradona will no longer have to dribble past the Guardia di Finanza when he passes through Italian territory, but will be completely free to do so: the Pibe de Oro would in fact have won his battle with the taxman.
"The Central Tax Commission - explain the lawyers of the former number 10 of Naples Angelo Pisani and Angelo Scala -, the last level of judgment of the tax justice, with a sentence filed on 29 January 2012 also ascertained the extinction due to the intervening amnesty of the judgments which still involved the Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli for the events of Careca, Alemao and Maradona, by virtue of the special rules on the amnesty, also confirming the nullity of the original tax assessment against these taxpayers already declared by the appealed sentence of 1994 ".
Ergo: the talented Argentine is not a tax evader, he never was and is not considered as such by the Italian Justice. Or not? Perhaps not really, given that the thesis of the lawyers was immediately denied by the tax authorities. “The Central Tax Commission has not cancelled, nor declared extinguished, nor changed the debt that Diego Armando Maradona owes to the Italian treasury. On the contrary, the Commission rejected the request for dependent adhesive intervention made by the footballer Maradona in the judgment in question, with respect to which Maradona himself was extraneous ". Yet another whodunit on a story that will probably never be fully clarified.
