AC Milan Chairman Li Yonghong on
Tuesday said last year's acquisition of the club from ex-premier
Silvio Berlusconi had been "transparent and above board" and the
club reserved the right to sue to protect its image.
"The process of acquiring AC Milan was always carried out
with the utmost transparency, regularity and correctness, with
the support and consultancy of financial and legal advisors of a
(high) international level," Li said in a statement.
He said "all procedures were followed with full respect for
the relevant laws and practices".
Li said "we reserve the right to start all suitable legal
action to best safeguard the image, reputation and economic
consistency of the firms of the AC Milan Group".
La Stampa newspaper reported at the weekend that the Milan
sale was being eyed by prosecutors, but this was denied.
