Italian media was shocked by the rather comical situation at Rome's "Lazio" when they were deceived by scammers.
It is claimed that a scam from "Lazio" resulted in 2 million euros being stolen. It is reported that the Rome team wanted to send this amount to the Dutch team "Feyenoord" for the remaining transfer fee of Stefano De Vrij, but the money did not reach the club's account.
According to "Il Tempo," scammers sent an email that looked identical to the original. It included the "Feyenoord" logo and a message, as if it were written by the Dutch club themselves.
"Lazio" financial officers were not suspicious of this email and sent 2 million euros based on the provided information. After some time, the Rome club found out that the money did not reach the "Feyenoord" account.
The scammers had altered the IBAN details, so all the money ended up in their hands. The prosecutor who started the investigation has already uncovered the truth - 2 million euros were found in one of the Dutch banks.
