Is it a civil matter in Italy though, here in the UK it can be both. Generally if you agree that there are 'irregularities' with your return then HMRC are more likely to consider Civil proceedings (but could make it criminal if they wanted) but if you deny any irregularities then they will go straight to seeking criminal prosecutions.
I suppose that the issue for the FL is that if they allow someone with an unspent criminal conviction to run a club then it sets a precedent, also if Cellino were to come in with a conviction and things went tits up with debts to HMRC (for example) would that make the FL complicit as they knew he had form?
