ANSA, in particular, writes how €1.2m ‘disappeared’ from the deal that took ex-Samp midfielder Pedro Obiang to West Ham United three years ago.

Ferrero is not the only person involved in the case as Sport Mediaset states there are five other suspects, who have had ‘more than €2m’ seized.

The 67-year-old purchased Samp in the summer of 2014 and has established the Blucerchiati as a Serie A club.
