Three people were still at large in an investigation that targeted nine Italians and a Hungarian, police said. They tried to acquire the club through money coming from illicit activities of the Casalesi clan, a group of the Naples-based Camorra crime syndicate, police added.
Among those still being sought was former Italy and Cosmos star Giorgio Chinaglia, now living in the United States, police official Gianluca Campana said. Two years ago, authorities first ordered his arrest on charges of extortion and insider trading at Lazio, he added.
Chinaglia, who helped Lazio win its first Italian title in 1974 and later became the club's president, is accused of trying to influence the price of Lazio shares, prosecutors said in 2006.
He allegedly tried to oust current club president Claudio Lotito by falsely claiming therewas a Hungarian investment group interested in buying a controlling stake in the club.
