Eighteen of the twenty Serie A clubs), all except Bologna and Cagliari, received a visit from the military of the “Guardia di finanza”, the Italian financial police. They seized documents, including player contracts. Twelve players' agents are also targeted by the investigation carried out by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, and two are particularly concerned, Alejandro Mazzoni, agent of the Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint-Germain), and Alessandro Moggi, son of Luciano Moggi, ex-Juventus manager convicted in 'Calciopoli' referee scandal in 2006. Clubs and agents are under investigation for 'criminal associations', 'tax evasion', 'false invoices' and 'money laundering' .
