Former AS Roma captain Francesco Totti is under investigation for tax fraud related to undeclared advertising income over a period of five years. According to the Italian newspaper "La Verità", the case may soon be closed, as Totti has reportedly paid the outstanding amount.

Details of the Investigation

An inquiry by the Guardia di Finanza revealed that Totti failed to declare part of his earnings, primarily from advertising campaigns he participated in after retiring from professional football. While the original debt was only a few thousand euros, interest and penalties raised the total to €200,000.

Despite having settled the debt, Totti has been summoned by the prosecutor between December 9 and 13 to provide explanations and finalize the case.

Though the legal issue may be resolved without severe consequences, this situation has cast a spotlight on one of Italian football’s most iconic figures.
