AC Milan

Last year’s $1.3 billion sale of AC Milan to New York-based investment firm RedBird Capital Partners is under investigation in Italy.

The Guardia di Finanza — which investigates financial crimes — has reportedly requested documents from accountants and advisors who helped facilitate the deal. The agency is looking into alleged embezzlement claims by Milan minority investor Blue Skye Financial Partners

  • In June 2022, Blue Skye claimed that former Milan owner Elliott Management held talks “behind closed doors” about the sale. 
  • That same month, Blue Skye asked a U.S. court for documents regarding the deal to prove that Elliot “operated with malice or deceit.” 
  • In July 2022, U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla authorized Blue Skye to obtain a “limited” number of documents to use in court. 
  • Two months later, Blue Skye’s attempt to freeze the sale of Milan was dropped following a hearing in an Italian court.
