False Account Scandal

The false account in Italy known as Doping Amministrativo, which means directors of the football clubs use cross-trading (or player exchange) with inflated prices in order to enhance the financial gains to avoid re-capitalization. But it is because the company's income actually not increased (the figure did increase), it look like using enhancement drug.

Famous quotes containing the words false, account and/or scandal:

    “Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain and restless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn’t matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.”
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    “Only he who has had the good fortune to read them in the nick of time, in the most perceptive and recipient season of life, can give any adequate account of them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.”
    —George Farquhar (1678–1707)
