The strange situation of Lazio's owner / I get death threats 5 thousand times a day!

Claudio Lutito, the 69-year-old owner and president of Lazio, is at the center of a controversial legal case being investigated by Rome's public prosecutor's office.

According to "Varzeh Se", this investigation, which first started with the focus of the extreme leaders of the fans, has now taken on wider dimensions and has revealed a financial media conspiracy with political roots to lower the value of Lazio's shares in the Milan stock market and to sell the club cheaply.

Lutito, who has been president of Lazio since 2004, appeared in court as an informant and confirmed the existence of this criminal plan by presenting numerous documents. In this regard, the Italian police has searched the properties related to the senior managers of Del Fucino Bank.

In an interview with prosecutors, Lotito denied the offer to sell the club to foreign investors, saying: "I never received an offer, but one thing is certain: I had to file complaints and statements with the Financial Market Supervisory Authority stating that I never received an offer."

The Lazio boss also opened up about serious life threats against him and revealed the tension with ultras and extremist leaders: “For a long time, I was traveling with two armed Colts, one in front and one in the back, one automatic and one Smith and Wesson. Once even one of them came in handy and saved me." He added that carrying weapons was done with the suggestion and order of the security forces.

He added about the volume of threats: "I receive five thousand threatening calls a day, I'm not kidding. I am a fighter in life. I am against abuse." "If you need a dream, take a sleeping pill," he quipped in response to a fan who asked him to dream big.

Lutito emphasized that he saved Lazio from bankruptcy by cutting off blackmail to organized groups, cutting off ticket sales and curbing anti-Semitic trends and making the Formula 1 training center worth 235 million euros.
