Simbari Avvocati Penalisti Secures Full Acquittal for Agent Abdilgafar Ramadani

"Simbari Avvocati Penalisti represented football agent Abdilgafar Ramadani, with sports-law support from Withers and tax technical consultancy from Maisto e Associati. Before the Milan Judge for the Preliminary Hearing, Ramadani was acquitted with the court ruling that the facts did not exist in relation to alleged omission of declarations of income from foreign entities."

Simbari Avvocati Penalisti represented agent Abdilgafar Ramadani, with Withers advising on the sports-law aspects and Maisto e Associati acting as tax technical consultant in proceedings before the Milan judicial authorities. The case arose from an investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor concerning alleged omissions in the declaration of income relating to contracts concluded with football players and clubs in Italy, based on an asserted permanent establishment of foreign legal entities in Italy. Following an abbreviated trial, the Public Prosecutor had requested an acquittal for lack of the subjective element. The Judge for the Preliminary Hearing in Milan ultimately accepted the defence submissions in full and acquitted Abdilgafar Ramadani with the formula "because the fact does not exist", thereby excluding the objective element of the alleged offence. Simbari Avvocati Penalisti represented client Abdilgafar Ramadani with a team composed by: Armando Simbari and Francesco Indirli (criminal defence). Withers represented client Abdilgafar Ramadani on the sports-law aspects with a team composed by: Luca Ferrari (partner and global head of sport). Maisto e Associati represented client Abdilgafar Ramadani as tax technical consultant with a team composed by: Guglielmo Maisto (founding partner), Marco Cerrato (partner), Francesco Morra (associate) and Matteo Cataldi (associate) (tax practice).
