Fornari e Associati and Russo De Rosa Associati Secure Acquittal for Motorsport Sponsorship Executive in Porsche Cup and MotoGP Case

"Fornari e Associati, assisted by Russo De Rosa Associati (Rdra), secured an acquittal from the Court of Bergamo for the administrator of a leading motorsport sponsorship and hospitality company. The case concerned alleged tax fraud tied to placement of advertising on race cars and motorcycles and disputed overbilling of services."

Fornari e Associati and Russo De Rosa Associati (Rdra) represented the administrator of one of the leading companies active in sponsorship and hospitality in motorsport and obtained his acquittal from the Court of Bergamo. The proceedings concerned an alleged tax fraud that reportedly involved intermediaries responsible for placing advertising space on racing cars and motorcycles and longstanding partners of racing teams. Prosecutors challenged the invoicing practices, asserting overbilling of services received and questioning the objective existence of the services provided to clients. The defence advanced a detailed reconstruction of the events and a systematic demolition of the prosecution's case, addressing both the allegation of over-invoicing and evidencing the actual provision of services to clients. Following those arguments, the Court of Bergamo issued an acquittal for the administrator. Fornari e Associati represented the administrator of one of the leading sponsorship and hospitality companies in motorsport, with a team composed by: Enrico Di Fiorino, partner; Viola Molteni, associate; Bianca Tosato, trainee. Russo De Rosa Associati (Rdra) provided technical support to the defence of the administrator, with a team composed by: Fabrizio Cavallaro, partner; Lorenzo Amati, associate.
