According to Tasnim news agency, the Rome club announced the termination of its CEO Pietro Berardi’s contract by publishing a statement and surprised the fans and the media with this decision.
Berardi’s dismissal took place a few days after he was introduced as one of the suspects of documenting violations for untruthfully showing the figures related to the purchase of players by the Rome club for the use of tax exemptions and the size of the concessions.
In the statement of the club of Rome, which deals with the essence of the matter without introduction and shows the occurrence of an unexpected event behind the scenes, it is stated: “The club of Rome announces that the competent people in this club have decided to immediately terminate and stop any cooperation with Mr. Pietro. they have received The club wishes Pietro the best of luck.
Berardi was appointed as the CEO of the Rome club in October 2021 and was one of the 7 former and current directors of this club who were under investigation for allegedly tampering with the club’s financial reports and announcing unreal figures. In this regard, even the story of the public prosecutor of the city of Rome claimed that Rome mentioned in its financial reports transfers that did not exist at all and were made only to avoid paying taxes.
Pietro Berardi was fired while only a few days ago he met with the city officials of Rome to build a dedicated stadium for the Giallorossi. He even watched Roma’s match against Torino this week in the 30th week of Serie A. It is possible that the decision of the Roma club was made to reduce the possible punishments in case of proven violations, a move similar to what the managers of the Juventus club did with their resignation and were finally punished with a deduction of 15 points.
