Enrico Preziosi
Enrico Preziosi is an Italian entrepreneur. He runs a number of businesses and is most famous for having been the chairman (Italian: presidente) of football club Genoa.
Preziosi is the chairman (Italian: presidente) of the board of directors of Giochi Preziosi, a toy company. He was the major shareholder through Fingiochi. The group is the leader in Italy's toy industry, which acquired other toy companies such as Migliorati, Ceppi Ratti and GiG. In the 2008–09 fiscal year, the group turnover was €865.3 million, with a net profit of €3.2 million. On 30 June 2009, the group had €428 million net assets.
Preziosi was the chairman of Como from 26 February 1998 until 18 October 2003. The team promoted to Serie A in 2002 as Serie B champion. Como received capital injection of 4,165,810,500 lire (€2,151,461) on 31 May 1999, and again in the next few seasons in order to promote to Serie A. Preziosi also made one of his first successful player deals, such as Tommaso Rocchi. However, the team relegated a year later and filed for bankruptcy in 2005. In 2009, he was banned from football for four months and fined €100,000 for wrongdoing when in charge of Como.
The liquidator of Como sued Juventus in 2006 for unpaid transfer fee of Alex Pederzoli and Felice Piccolo, who went back to Juventus in 2004. However, Juventus claimed it had paid and sued Preziosi instead. It was settled in February 2011 after Juventus agreed to pay €0.2 million instead of alleged €1.58 million. Como acquired Pederzoli and Piccolo for €1.6 million and returned to Juventus for €20,000. FIGC suspected Juventus, which signed youth players Domenico Criscito and Francesco Volpe from Genoa in co-ownership deals for €1.9 million in 2004 (Antonio Nocerino moved to opposite direction for €0.45M, i.e., €1.45million cash involved), were actually flopped in order to transfer the sum of €1.58million to Genoa, the new club of Preziosi. Genoa also sold Alessandro Colasante to Como in January 2004 for €750,000 but he joined Genoa as a free agent. Daniele Gregori, sold to Genoa in 2003 for free, also returned to Como in January 2004 for €750,000. Genoa also signed Carlo Gervasoni from Como in 2004 for free, but was sold to Verona for €500,000.
Despite Preziosi selling Como, on 15 June 2005, Preziosi regained his influence on Como after it was acquired by Royal S.r.l. This violated the rule stating that a person cannot have majority interests for more than two clubs. Como was not admitted to 2005–06 Serie C2, partially due to that reason (despite the club's financial issues partially being solved), and the club was sold to 1907 Como S.r.i., a company not owned by Preziosi. Como was not admitted to Serie C2 under new management because, by then, it was too late.
Preziosi acquired Genoa in June 2003 from the liquidator of Genoa's parent company. In October, Como was sold to Aleandro Dall'Oglio. The team remained at Serie B due to Caso Catania. He also bought players from Como to Genoa, such as Saša Bjelanović, Stephen Makinwa, Giuseppe Greco, Marco Rossi, Luca Belingheri and Nikola Lazetić.
In the next season, the team acquired Argentine striker Diego Milito, who scored 21 goals, winning the 2005 Serie B championship (cadetto) and promoted. Due to Genoa having manipulated the result of the last match, Genoa 3–2 Venezia (Caso Genoa), the team was relegated to Serie C1 and Preziosi was banned from football for five years by Lega Calcio. His appeal was also dismissed by internal committee of FIGC on 6 August and by the civil court in the same month. He submitted an appeal to La Camera di Conciliazione e Arbitrato per lo Sport section of Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and intervening settled on 18 January 2006. The agreement was not published but it was aimed for Genoa's future in exchange Preziosi giving up something (that season, Genoa's penalty was fixed at 3 points plus a match result annulled due to Antonio Ghomsi's case). Despite the charges being lifted by the Court of Cassation and the case returned to a lower court, the Italian Appellate court convicted Preziosi of fraud and gave him a four-month sentence. In July 2012, it was confirmed that, rather than receive a jail sentence, Preziosi was forbidden to enter the stadium for six months, so he arranged for a life-size photo of himself to be placed in his seat. He was also banned by Serie C for a year on 14 December 2005, for violating article 11 bis of Codice di Giustizia Sportiva. However it was annulled after an appeal.
In June 2007, Presiozi was banned for another five years by Lega Calcio for the abnormal transaction between Genoa and Como. It once lifted on 20 June, but upheld by the national discipline committee (Commissione disciplinare nazionale, CDN) of FIGC on 15 May 2008. He also appealed to La Camera di Conciliazione e Arbitrato per lo Sport section of CONI on 14 July 2008. A hearing was held on 18 February 2009 (initially on 24 September 2008) and the case ended on 13 September 2010 with an unannounced result. On 3 October 2008, his lawyer submitted a request to probationally imprison him for 23 months to end the case before went to the formal judicial process in the court of Como.
