Andres Blazquez Ceballos (54) was acquitted of charges brought on March 14 by Genoa's former American owner, A-Cap, of “contractual fraud and unlawful influence on the assembly of shares.” The court in Genoa thus closed the file in which the administrator-delegate of the Rossoblu club, patronized for a year by Dan Șucu, had been investigated.
One of the two legal actions pending against Genoa's current management has been closed without right of appeal. A-Cap, the investment fund that lent 777 Partners to finance the Rossoblu club, definitively lost the case.
Genoa today issued a statement regarding the rejection of the criminal complaint filed by A-Cap on March 14, 2025, for “contractual fraud and illicit influence on the General Meeting of Shareholders”, against the current Rossoblu general manager, Andres Blazquez Ceballos.
“The alleged crimes complained of have not been identified”
“Genoa CFC announces that the judge of preliminary investigations Anna Maria Nutini, the investigating judge of the Court of Genoa, submitted to the clerk of the court the file for the definitive classification of the criminal procedure.

“The alleged crimes are not identified”, in this case the allegations of contractual fraud and undue influence brought against the general manager of Genoa CFC, Andres Blazquez Ceballos by ACM DELEGAT E LLC. The club was assisted in the procedure by the lawyers Cesare Manzitti and Fabio Fossati”, reads a press release from the club.
Considering the discrepancies identified between the statements of the witnesses Paul Mann, Jill Gettman and Enrico Preziosi and the additional evidentiary material in the case file, the defendant's defense requested the transmission of the documents to the Prosecutor's Office to assess whether the circumstances of the offense provided for in art. 371-bis of the Criminal Code, in relation to the statements given to the Prosecutor's Office by the first on May 8, 2025, respectively by the second on April 9, 2025

“Regarding the first two positions, it should be noted that the motion to dismiss admitted a “precise para-procedural strategy” aimed at confirming that they were unaware of both the judicially approved debt restructuring agreement and a capital increase proposed by Genoa.
“The final decision in the case of Țucu's capital increase at Genoa is expected at the end of February 2026”
This despite the fact that they had been “perfectly informed of the majority shareholder's initiative to urgently increase the capital” – according to the procedural documents submitted today.

Considering the additional evidentiary materials submitted by the defendant's defense, there are, therefore, reasons for sending the documents to the Prosecutor's Office for competent evaluations”, the statement concludes.
It must be emphasized that this new chapter in the procedure regarding the last capital increase from a year ago is a criminal matter, not a civil one.
Therefore, it has nothing to do with the procedure regarding the legality of the capital increase of Dan Șucu from December 18, 2024. In this regard, as is already known, the final decision is expected at the end of February 2026.
