Turin Prosecutors Back ‘Messa Alla Prova’ for John Elkann After €183 Million Tax Repayment

A judge will now decide whether to suspend the case in exchange for a community‑service program.

Overview

  • Prosecutors said the repayments by the investigated parties total about €183 million, covering taxes, penalties and interest, and extinguishing the assessed tax debt.
  • Filings seek full archiving for Lapo and Ginevra Elkann and for Swiss notary Urs Robert Von Grunigen, with a partial archiving for John Elkann limited to two annualities of alleged false tax returns.
  • The office gave a favorable opinion to a negotiated penalty for Juventus president and family accountant Gianluca Ferrero, while notary Remo Maria Morone received a notice of conclusion of investigations after declining a deal.
  • Investigators report €248.5 million in undeclared income and roughly €1 billion in an untaxed estate tied to Marella Caracciolo, citing searches, forensic device copies and rogatory assistance from Switzerland and Luxembourg.
  • The last tranche of payments was made in August, and related criminal-file materials are expected to feed into ongoing civil litigation brought by Margherita Agnelli.
