Overview
- Two bank accounts tied to Riccardo Totti were frozen Friday by examining judge Luca Battinieri, who ordered a preventive seizure of about €120,000.
- The Rome prosecutor, Vittoria Bonfanti, is investigating suspected intentional failure to obey a court order, and the seizure is a precaution to preserve assets during the inquiry.
- A former academy secretary had won more than €120,000 in unpaid wages and indemnities, but when court collection began the academy’s official accounts showed little money.
- Investigators say that starting in summer 2024 parents received new bank details and routine fees flowed to an account in Totti’s name and to a new sole proprietorship, while receipts still listed the academy.
- Totti’s lawyer says the payments supported a new club, ASD Longarina TSS 1944, via a temporary collection account, that transfers to the new association were made on September 23, 2024, and that an appeal has been filed to overturn the freeze.
