- INLAND REVENUES, MARADONA’S ROLEXES AUCTIONED FOR 11,000EUR
(AGI) – Rome, Jul 13 – Eleven thousand euros went to the Inland Revenues Office for the auction of Maradona’s Rolex watches. In the struggle between the Inland Revenues Office and the ‘pibe de oro’, there is now also the auction of the two Rolex watches this morning at the Mediterraneo Hotel in Naples by Concessionaria GestLine, which had been confiscated from Diego Armando Maradona and considered to be a small contribution for the 31 million euro debt the Argentine footballer owes to the Italian state. Contribuenti.it participated in the competition and paid 11 thousand euros after the auction started at 5,000. "These watches have become the symbol if tax evasion in Italy," said Vittorio Carlomagno, the president of the Contribuenti.it association, the association of Italian taxpayers. (AGI) –
