An Italian probe into suspected tax evasion by England manager Fabio Capello involves the owner of his former club Roma, according to an Italian newspaper.
Turin-based La Stampa cited judicial leaks to report that Roma boss Franco Sensi is one of 15 people under investigation by Turin Prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello.
Among the other persons cited were Sensi's two daughters, Rosella (currently acting club chairman) and Maria Cristina; Genoa Chairman Enrico Preziosi; two Milan accountants; and Capello's wife and two sons.
Guariniello reportedly suspects Capello of dodging 16 million euros in taxes between 2004 and 2006. In previous reports, this was taken to imply the sums involved wages paid by Turin giant Juventus.
In 2004 the ex-Milan coach left Roma for two years at Juventus. He then returned to Real Madrid for a year before eventually landing the England job.
As reported in January, Capello allegedly dodged the taxes through a Luxembourg-based merchandising firm that is part of his family trust.
Roma received only a part of the merchandise, enabling the coach to avoid paying taxes, Guariniello reportedly suspects.
Preziosi, the Genoa boss and owner of one of Italy's largest toy manufacturers, has been cited because Capello allegedly transferred a stake he owned in the Giochi Preziosi company to a Channel Island trust without paying tax.
Capello and Preziosi's trusts are both based in Guernsey.
La Stampa said the Turin prosecutors would summon the 15 ''over the next few weeks''.
Capello has already been questioned once and said he had nothing to hide.
The Football Association said it was happy with its coach's financial affairs.
Several years ago Capello received a small fine for faking a Swiss address to dodge Italian taxes.
