A Tuscan beach club owned by
Juventus and Italy midfielder Federico Bernardeschi has been
fined over 40,000 euros for employing workers off the books,
sources said Friday.
The fine was levied after Carabinieri found 11 'black' workers
employed at an evening event at the bathing establishment at
Massa Carrara earlier this week.
Bernadeschi, who bought the Amare Holi Beach Club earlier this
year and held his wedding party there after returning from
Wembley as European champion, was said to "have nothing to do
with this affair", according to the management.
Former Fiorentina player Bernadeschi, 27, married ex Big Brother
contestant Veronica Ciardi at the club in mid-July, after the
Azzurri's victory over England in a penalty shoot-out on July
11.
"Bernardeschi has nothing to do with this affair, and the staff
found without work contracts do not belong to our staff," said
the beach club management, based in Rome.
"It was the private committee that brought 11 persons, which is
used to accompany the guests to the tables and do public
relations," said the company, which runs the club the player
owns.
Bernardeschi, who came on a substitute against England, scored
one of the winning penalties that gave Italy their second
European crown after 1968.
