Today, December 16, the companies must settle payments and those who are not in compliance will pay with penalties or, possibly, exclusion. In Serie C, the most striking cases are those of Turris e Taranto, both with worrying corporate crises behind them.
Please remember that in case of exclusion, the matches played by the team in question will be cancelled and therefore the opponents will also lose points in the championship standings.
HERE IS THE POSSIBLE NEW RANKING IN CASE OF EXCLUSIONS
In this article we will update you LIVE on the situation.
Turris and Taranto: live news
TURRIS: Colantonio would have committed to converting into liquidity approximately 300 thousand euros of the now known tax credits in Capriola's possession, while the remaining part of approximately 550 thousand euros, relating to INPS and Irpef contributions, would be paid in installments. The success of the operation is however subject to the approval of the social security institution, which should stamp the request for monthly division of the entitlements by today. It is reported vesuviuslives.
At 14: there have been no official updates yet: the team is regularly on the field for training. There is an air of great tension waiting for news.
19pm: Turris updateThe agreement between the current ownership andformer president Colantonio is not yet sufficient to cover the deadlines. Agreement which provides for the monetization of tax credits held by Capriola, converted into liquidity by Colantonio. The goal now is pay INPS contributions in installments, But the practice started late and it is not certain that the approval arrive by midnight today, deadline for payments. If the installment plan is not approved, Turris would be excluded from the championship.
21 PM: TURRIS WOULD BE SAFE: Turris has apparently overcome the difficulties related to the payment of salaries and F24, due today at midnight, and breathed a sigh of relief having therefore avoided being eliminated from the Serie C championship. Decisive in this sense is the agreement reached between the current ownership led by Ettore Capriola and the former number one Antonio Colantonio who will return to the company and should find a place - either he or his representative - in the new Board of Directors of the coral club. According to what was collected by the editorial staff of TMW, the payments have been completed in these hours, but for the coral club a further penalty of one point is still coming, which will be added to the five already imposed for the previous non-compliances. The reason lies in the failure to pay some items, probably the salaries, for the month of September.
Taranto: yesterday we talked to you in depth about the situation (more). We are waiting for further updates.
11 hours. Taranto Update: Official Note (Reported Below)
"In recent days Apex Capital Global LLC, as you now know, has failed to meet the deadline related to the deposit of the bank guarantee (scheduled for December 13th). This was caused, unfortunately, by issues beyond our control/will. Specifically, the Taranto FC 1927 bank account, until Thursday afternoon, was blocked and in no way operational. Furthermore, two Apex transfers (on Wednesday and Thursday) were rejected (again due to the aforementioned block), despite having received assurances that the club's bank account was operational. Despite this problem, we are continuing, as Apex, to work towards the positive closing of the agreement and the payment of the salaries of the members. We will update you, very soon, as soon as we can provide further news on the matter. Always for transparency and completeness in the information, we would like to underline that the municipal administration is totally extraneous to the dynamics/discussions between the parties involved in this negotiation. Finally, we thank the fans and the community of Taranto for their patience and understanding.".
15. Taranto's press release in response to Apex
"The current majority shareholder of Taranto FC 1927 Srl, with reference to the press release issued by Apex Capital Global LLC today, specifies the following. The reason given by the promissory buyer to justify the failure to comply with its contractual obligations (issuance of the new bank guarantee and stipulation of the final deed of transfer of shares by December 13 and assumption of all debts of the company, including those relating to today's federal deadline, since the signing of the preliminary contract) is completely inconsistent and seriously defamatory. Unfortunately, by ignoring the numerous public statements made in recent days as well as private reassurances regarding compliance with the terms, Apex Capital Global LLC has failed, once again, to comply with its contractual obligations, with the same and identical dynamics that occurred in the period prior to the signing of the preliminary contract. Deeply concerned about a situation that, as the days went by, was becoming more and more dramatic, we communicated in writing to our counterpart that we were available to postpone the peremptory deadline for the transfer of shares, asking only that the payments relating to today's federal deadline be respected and in the only primary interest which is the protection of the Club. The majority shareholder has implemented all actions as well as solutions to avoid any alibi on the part of Apex, having even carried out in recent days several test transfers to all Apex accounts of which we are aware, to demonstrate that our current account was - as it still is - perfectly operational. We would have preferred to maintain the appropriate silence until the end of today, awaiting the solutions that Apex tells us it is seeking, although this conflicts with the unstoppable desire to issue a press release rather than focus on resolving without delay the respect of today's commitments. We therefore publicly renew the invitation addressed to Apex to implement all useful actions to respect the federal deadlines, authorizing them equally publicly to use the sums tied to the guarantee that we had been told were available for some time. The company reserves the right to further more detailed publications in the near future.”
22.40 PM: Taranto has not paid the salaries so far, so a new heavy penalty is expected for the Ionians. In the city, however, there are unconfirmed rumors of a bank transfer already paid.
