Bari Football Club, Prosecutor Withdraws Bankruptcy Request: Filmauro Guarantees €11.1 Million
According to Repubblica, the bankruptcy hypothesis for the De Laurentiis family could be dropped; the October 1 hearing will no longer decide on judicial liquidation
The Prosecutor's Office in Bari has withdrawn its request for judicial liquidation against SSC Bari spa, filed on July 7, 2026. This is reported by Repubblica Bari, Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, BariToday and ANSA Puglia.
Behind the U-turn is a financial support deed from September 24, 2026, which according to the Public Prosecutor's Office "incorporates, in substance and form, the conditions indicated by the Office." Filmauro, the company of the De Laurentiis family, will therefore serve as guarantor for SSC Bari with an amount equal to €11.1 million, as reported by BariToday.
Towards the October 1 Hearing
The hearing before the Civil Court of Bari, scheduled for October 1, must now take note of the Prosecutor's withdrawal. Previously it was called to decide on the opening of bankruptcy proceedings and the possible appointment of a trustee.
The Charges That Could Fall
According to Repubblica Bari, the withdrawal from the liquidation procedure would also eliminate the hypothesis of fraudulent bankruptcy charges contested against Luigi De Laurentiis, president of SSC Bari, and Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of Filmauro. The judicial developments in the coming weeks remain to be confirmed.
