After an underground negotiation of six months, Parma Calcio passes into the hands of a Russian-Cypriot group that acquires the sporting title and also the debt. A 25 million euro operation with the mystery of who is really behind the Cypriot Dastraso Holding Limited . Currently the president will be, pro tempore (three months), the lawyer Fabio Giordan or who handled relations with the media and was the only face of the operation. GROUP
Despite the fact that Dastraso Holding Limited was born exactly on 7 November last, it is known that the group is 60% owned by Cypriots and 40% by Russians, and in fact the same one that had handled the negotiation interrupted two weeks ago due to insolvency of the preliminary commitments. At the moment it emerges that it has a turnover of 2 million euros but nothing more can be deduced from the “ European e-justice portal-business registers ”. Unofficially, it is known that the new owners of Parma are in the business of oil extraction. The names of the shareholders have not been made, but so far the leads have led to Pietro Doca , (pictured) Albanian jeweler who has been transplanted to Parma for years, who is the legal representative of D astraso Holding Limited.But Doca is also one of the closest men to the Albanian oilman Rezart Taci. TACI
Everyone calls him “the Oilman” for the money obtained from the business of diesel, petrol and derivatives. His numbers speak of a turnover of 1.5 billion euros between Tirana, Geneva and London. And to think that in 1991 he had arrived in Italy from Albania with one of those ships of hope, together with thousands of his fellow countrymen, fleeing from communism. Already a partner and sponsor of Milan Calcio, a great friend of Silvio Berlusconi himself, the 44-year-old Taci has tried several times to enter the Italian football market but without succeeding. Last September was the president of Genoa Enrico Preziosi(the king of toys) to meet him: on the plate the possibility of entry as a minority shareholder or as main sponsor, but then I skip everything, and someone said precisely because the real goal was Parma, already in a deep corporate and sporting crisis. In 2009 he showed interest in Bologna (he was President after Menarini for just one night), and in order also for Rome and Milan. The relationship with AC Milan is in any case close and constant also by virtue of the link with the CEO Adriano Galliani and his frequentations at the Milanese restaurant Giannino, the Rossoneri’s “haunt”. TACI OIL
Strategic base and Taci Oil. He started his business by selling petroleum products to Agip, making the first deposits in the north of Albania, but the boom was achieved with the privatization of the Armo, the state oil company. He wins the competition in 2008 with his Lui anika Enterprises, based in Switzerland. From there he continued his business until the purchase of an Islamic bank and the Sheraton in Tirana. Last November 13 he had even denied the interest in the Scala club through his spokesperson.
He studied law at the University of Alexandria but without graduating. It was thanks to its partnership with some financial institutions such as Credit Agricole, Bnp Paribas and Lloydsof London, which Taci started Taci Oil, which today is one of the largest companies in the country with 90 stations and able to ensure 35% of Albanian needs. A THOUSAND INTERESTS
Taci takes care of many interests in different sectors. He is president of the Albanian Chess Federation. In 2011 the signature, for Taci Oil, of an annual partnership as a premium sponsor with Milan. With his father Mustafa (who sits on the board of directors of his companies together with other very close family members) he acquires the Albanian team of KS Gramozi Erseke and brings it to the Serie A of his country, the Kategoria Superiore . Last July he bought the English club Leyton Orient, in co-ownership with the Roman entrepreneur Francesco Becchetti, who plays in the Serie C of the other side of the Channel. SHADOWS
According to the Directorate for economic and financial crime, he would be targeted by the Albanian prosecutor for tax evasion. There is talk of 15 million dollars. His collaborators are under observation of the investigators: they are Anika Taci, Mustafa Taci, Drita Alicka, Arianit Kolgega and Irgen Selfo. All suspected of tax evasion and financial fraud . In 2012, the real estate and current accounts of his Armo refinery company ended up under preventive seizure , as well as the properties of the Albanian bank Credins . The Tirana Court carried out a request from theInternational Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA) , whose majority package is controlled by the state, which claimed to get back the sum of 75 million euros. twitter @ FDepalo
