'No intention to shirk responsibility' as Camila Giorgi set to return back to Italy to answer tax probe
WTAMonday, 13 May 2024 at 17:49
Camila Giorgi won't hide and won't 'shirk responsibility' amid murmurings that she has fled Italy to the US amid an ongoing tax probe with reports stemming from Italian media that the Italian who retired last week has quickly left the country to avoid ongoing problems.
Supposedly Giorgi has not filed the documents that are required and the same can be said for her family in regards to a cloudy picture of her tax affairs. She also is due in court anyway in July regarding the fake Covid vaccine which she supposedly received from a doctor who is set to go on trial. So it won't be a quiet retirement for the former Canadian Open winner.
From announcing her retirement by the means of the ITIA Retired Players list, the picture in reality was a lot more murky albeit Giorgi finally released a statement yesterday with rumours surrounding her being called 'inaccurate'. But it seems a story that will rumble on. Her lawyers made a statement saying that she won't hide though and her flee to the US was down to family problems and not the tax probe.

"No intention to shirk responsibility, Camila will return to Italy soon", said her lawyers as per ANSA. "Her removal from the residence in Calenzano is temporary and due to a divergence of views within the family, and to the desire to take a pause for reflection to decide how to set up her life after the abandonment of competitive activity".
"Camila's withdrawal from competitive competitions has nothing to do with the affair linked to the Guardia di Finanza investigations," they continued.

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
