While the Prosecutor's Office of the Football Federation opens an investigation into the matter relating to the dismissal of a Roma employee , after a Primavera player had stolen a hard video from her and spread it among his teammates, Roma are defending themselves . It was both of them who were fired, and not just her, says the Giallorossi club, reiterating that it considers its actions to be "correct" and defining the campaign of recent days as "an attempt to destabilize the team at the height of the sporting season" .
Rome rejects the accusations of sexual discrimination and unequal treatment, labeling them as "non-existent" and speaking of "facts artfully exploited" . It is then underlined how the two employees, the man and the woman, «were fired on the same day and at the same time» because «it was impossible to continue the working relationship», also considering that the two had a « direct coordination with minors".
Roma also specifies that the dismissal "is a consequence of a circumstance contrary to the club's code of ethics" and not, as the employee claims, due to "environmental incompatibility" due to the diffusion of the film in the company. According to Roma, the video also contains "a private negotiation regarding preferential work lanes", as the man was her boss at the time. In the long note from the Friedkin company, there is no reference to the behavior of the Primavera member who instead stole the video from the employee's smartphone and then disseminated it.
And the federal prosecutor's office wants to be clear about this, obviously not investigating the dismissal (if anything, the jurisdiction lies with an employment judge), but the responsibility of Giallorossi members relating to the dissemination of private videos of the employee. The interrogations with the federal prosecutor, Giuseppe Chiné, have already begun and the last one to be heard will be the footballer himself. First the other witnesses (including the former employee) and probably also the CEO, Lina Souloukou. The player would be charged with article 4 of the sporting justice code, the one linked to the principles of loyalty, correctness and probity, while Roma would be charged with 6 for objective liability.
