Maradona earring sold at auction in Italy
|
|
A diamond earring that used to belong to Diego Maradona has been sold for 25,000 euros (£22,000) - five times its asking price - at auction in Italy.
The unidentified woman who bought the item at the sale in the northern city of Bolzano said simply that she was satisfied with her purchase. The money will go towards paying off some of the Argentine football legend's 37m-euro (£33m) Italian tax debt. The debt was built up from his days as a player for Napoli from 1984-1991. The earring was seized by police when Maradona travelled to Italy last year to visit a weight-loss clinic. It is not the first time Maradona's assets have been taken from him. During another visit to Naples in 2006, police seized two Rolex watches. But they cannot arrest the footballer, as the criminal case for tax evasion against him has lapsed under Italy's statute of limitations. |
