Former Romanian international Răzvan Raț has reacted to accusations made by Gigi Becali regarding his involvement in Dan Șucu's takeover of Genoa. Raț denied speculation that Ukrainian businessmen were behind the transaction to hide the source of funds. He stated he believes Gigi Becali originated the money laundering accusations.
Gigi Becali suggested Ukrainian investors were behind the operation with Raț as intermediary but presented no evidence. Becali claimed he invested 4 million euros and earned 100 million euros, while Șucu earned 30 million euros in real estate deals. These financial figures remain unverified claims within the dispute.
In December 2024, Dan Șucu became majority shareholder at Genoa after acquiring 77% of shares for an investment of 40 million euros. Former Romanian international Răzvan Raț intermediated the Genoa acquisition transaction. Raț explained he proposed Dan Șucu for the Genoa deal because the Italian club needed solutions to survive.
Genoa occupies 11th position in Serie A with 13 points after 10 matches. The club has recorded four wins, one draw, and five defeats this season. Genoa won its last three matches against Venezia, Juventus Torino, and Lecce. The team will play AC Milan at home on November 8, 2026.
