Lingerie Model Slash Tennis Pro Camila Giorgi Randomly Retired And The Italian Press Is Reporting It's Because She Fled And Came To America Because The Tax Authorities Are After Her

So Hubbs wrote a story a few days ago that kinda shocked the tennis world of dual threat lingerie model/tennis pro Camila Giorgi retiring without any formal announcement:

She's been on and off the circuit over the last few years, and while she's been pretty much a consistent top 75 player in her career, hasn't been all that results oriented lately. She's your casual tennis fan's favorite pro, for reasons you can try and figure out on your own, and when she isn't on the court, she is modeling:

But it was still a little strange she went out without a peep, and the Italian media has apparently figured out why they think she did. I can't say I'm too brushed up on my Italian, but luckily for us, this AI bot I built for blogging has a translate function:

via the Gazzetta:

The retirement made official only on the WTA list, a last story on Instagram from over 10 days ago: Camila Giorgi left tennis and never gave any more news about herself. The Guardia di Finanza is also on her trail, which must notify her of investigations into disputes with the tax authorities. But no news about Camila. According to the investigations of the Florence Prosecutor's Office, not only Giorgi but also her family (her father Sergio, Argentinian, has always been her coach, her mother Claudia, Italian, taught art in the Marche region, then there are her brothers Leandro and Amadeus) has several "gaps" regarding tax returns, which have never been submitted.

THE PROCESS

— 

Investigators think that Giorgi left Europe and moved to the United States. On July 16th Camila should appear before the investigating judge of Vicenza: the first preliminary hearing of the investigation into fake Covid vaccines  in which she was involved together with the singer Madame has been set. 

Is this a Barstool Sports blog? We have a national crisis in Italy over Giorgi vanishing and they can only give us like 50 words?! The only thing we learned is that she potentially allegedly maybe had some gaps in her tax returns? Bosco's been doing that for like 3 presidencies! That last sentence is kinda crazy though? After some journalistic research, Giorgi was being investigated along with hundreds of others (including the singer Madame, not to be confused with Madonna!) for allegations she used a fake COVID vaccination certificate to play in the Australian Open in 2022:

I guess that's just now coming to fruition multiple years later and she has court for it in July if you believe the Italian media? Anyway, I'm sure this story is going to get a lot juicier but as far as we know, Giorgi's done with tennis, she's maybe living in the US now, and potentially has court in a few months? I'm not a fashionista but my suspicion is the modeling career still has some longevity to it.
