Milan`s Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) has placed five individuals under house arrest. These individuals are suspected of managing an illegal online betting operation used by Serie A football players. The primary operators of this ring are reportedly Tommaso De Giacomo and Patrik Frizzera. The investigation involves twelve Serie A players, including Juventus` Perin and McKennie.
House arrest measures were also applied to the administrators of Elysium Group, a jewelry business suspected of `providing bank accounts` for the operation. Antonio Scinocca and Antonino Parise, identified as legal representative and partner, along with Andrea Piccini, a former partner, are accused of simulating sales of `watches or precious items`, sometimes issuing invoices, and receiving bank transfers into their accounts to `cover player debts`, effectively laundering the betting proceeds.
