Roma announced on Monday that they had sacked their CEO as prosecutors investigate the Serie A club’s past transfer dealings.
In a short statement, Roma said that Pietro Berardi had been terminated from his role at the club.
Adding that he was terminated “with immediate effect” even in other businesses within its parent company Friedkin Group.
Besides, Roma did not say why Berardi, who had been CEO since October 2021, had been removed.
Alternatively, Roma have denied any wrongdoing.
“Cooperating with the competent authorities and hopes that full clarity will be provided on the matter as soon as possible, “Roma stated.
Earlier this month, police carried out searches at their offices as part of an investigation into transfers from between 2017 and 2021.
Similar searches were also carried out on the same day at the offices of fellow top-flight outfits Lazio and Salernitana.
Transfer dealings have been one of the major scandals in Italian football over the past year.
This comes with Juventus docked 15 points in January for using transactions to artificially boost their balance sheet.
An appeal on that ruling will be heard on April 19.
Juve are embroiled in a criminal investigation over their finances, with the club and a raft of former directors.
Former chairman Andrea Agnelli accused of a variety of crimes.
Prosecutors in Naples are also carrying out a probe into the big money deal which took Victor Osimhen to Napoli from Lille.
That transfer included four players valued at around 20 million euros moving to Lille.
Three of whom never played for the French club.
