Grandson of Italy's last king buys Naples football team

The grandson of last king of Italy, Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, bought the club Associazione Calcio Savoia 1908, from Torre Annunziata, this week.

The club was involved in an investigation in October this year, in which four employees were detained and linked to the criminal organization Camorra, as part of an extortion network.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

The club's management was forced to pay 130 thousand euros to the mafia within seven months so that the team could participate in the Campania district championship.

Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, together with Nazario Matachione, Roberto Passariello and Marco Limoncelli, created the joint-stock company Casa Reale Holding, with the aim of purchasing the historic Torre Annunziata club in Naples.

The society intends to “take the club to Series C” and develop an academy with scholarships for young people, announced the descendant of the Italian royal family.

The prince reports the sadness he felt when he saw the Associazione Calcio Savoia 1908 “associated with the infamous Camorra”. However, it claims that the purchase of the club is “much broader” and that it is looking for an “academy that offers scholarships for young football talents and for boys in the Torre Annunziata district and in southern Italy in general”, according to the newspaper La Repubblica.
