Simonelli wants to take possession of the Lega Serie A office on Monday. Will they call the police?

The situation is serious but it is not serious, Ennio Flaiano would have said. Get your popcorn ready, anything can happen in Lega Serie A on Monday. The new president Ezio Simonelli will want to take possession of his office. He has been elected but not yet proclaimed. According to him, as he said in the interview with Repubblica, the proclamation does not legally exist. Maybe, the former (but still in office) president Lorenzo Casini, Lotito, De Laurentiis, in short those six who didn't vote for him, don't think so. Simonelli was elected with 14 votes, i.e. the front that is with Gravina and also the Northern front. Moreover, again in the interview with Repubblica, he claimed to have been consul for Canada in Northern Italy.

On Monday Simonelli will want to come into the office. According to others, he will not be able to do so because he has not resolved his multiple conflicts of interest. He is ready to call the federal prosecutor's office if they were to prevent him. The others could take legal action. Unless someone calls the police on Monday. The Carabinieri at the Lega Serie A would be the picture of Christmas and Italian football.

Simonelli's intentions

Corriere della Sera writes:

Ezio Simonelli, elected with 14 votes to the presidency of the League of A, yesterday sent a certified email to the councilors announcing that he would accept the position after renouncing roles in Mondadori, Mediaset and Fininvest, which are incompatible with the new position. Silvio Berlusconi's historic accountant believes he has overcome the obstacle linked to eligibility with the declaration relating to his resignation as a member of the boards of auditors of the companies attributable to Monza. And he is ready to show up tomorrow at the Milan offices for the first day of work in the new role, even though the assembly has not yet proclaimed him.

Has calm returned to the League? No, because the president Lorenzo Casini and the councilors who did not vote for Simonelli believe that the documentation sent is incomplete. To comply with art. 14 of the statute, the manager should declare that he no longer has relationships of any kind with the associates, therefore also in the activity he carries out as an accountant: in this case Casini would be available to cancel the meeting of the board of 27 , set with the aim of verifying Simonelli's eligibility requirements. If it did not meet the requirements of the statute, the board would postpone the vote to the assembly.

In this context there are those who point out that the council would not have executive powers but only consultative ones and certainly could not override the opinion expressed by two thirds of the presidents. On the other hand, there is no shortage of those (like Lotito) who would be ready to take legal action against the election of the manager. Simonelli is determined to enter the office tomorrow, on the strength of the recognition made public last night by Percassi, the current vice president: in the event that impediments arise that make it impossible for him to carry out his activity, he would turn to the federal prosecutor's office. Will he be the president called to reward the winner of the Super Cup in Arabia?

The Journal adds:

And Simonelli? He will show up at the League's Milan offices, determined to begin his mandate. If he finds obstacles in his way, he is ready to involve the Federal Prosecutor's Office to take action to remove them. Another matter is that, once in office, it is one of the six companies opposed to challenging Simonelli's appointment and starting a new legislative process. No one feels like excluding him, on the contrary.
