Camila Giorgi ‘flees to USA from Italy’ alongside family with authorities on her tail
Camila Giorgi and her family have reportedly fled Italy because authorities are keen to question the tennis star over gaps in her tax returns. News broke earlier this week that Giorgi had quietly retired from the sport, even though it hadn’t been announced by the Italian.
Giorgi’s retirement from tennis was revealed on Wednesday after she was listed as such on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s website. It came as a surprise to tennis fans, given the 32-year-old had kept silent around the matter and is still yet to release a statement.
However, reports suggest the reason behind Giorgi’s sudden retirement may have been caused by a run-in with the financial authorities in Italy. La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Giorgi has fled to the United States, with the Macerata-born star wanted by Italy’s financial police.
She is said to have departed Italy alongside four members of her family; dad Sergio, mum Claudio and brothers Leandro and Amadeus.
