Camila Giorgi Retires Amid Tax Troubles and Vaccine Allegations
Camila Giorgi’s Mysterious Retirement: Tax Troubles and Vaccine Allegations
Former world No. 26 Camila Giorgi has reportedly retired from tennis under a cloud of controversy. According to an article by La Gazzetta dello Sporto, Giorgi’s retirement may be linked to tax problems and allegations of forged COVID-19 vaccine documentation.
Giorgi’s sudden departure from the sport has raised eyebrows, as she has not made any public announcement or released a statement. Her last WTA tournament appearance was in March at the Miami Open, where she lost to Iga Swiatek. Since then, Giorgi has been unreachable, with no one reportedly able to contact her.
The retirement filing was reportedly made on May 7, and it has now emerged that Giorgi and her family are being investigated by the Guardia di Finanza, an Italian law enforcement agency. The investigation is said to involve issues related to taxes and undeclared income.
Giorgi was already scheduled to attend a hearing in Vicenza regarding an allegation of forging her COVID-19 vaccine documentation. Giorgi denied the allegation when it was first made public during the 2023 Australian Open. However, she allegedly received one of the vaccine doses from disgraced Dr. Daniela Grillone, who was arrested for falsifying vaccine certificates.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sporto, Giorgi and her family are believed to have relocated to the United States. The investigation into her tax affairs and vaccine allegations is ongoing, and it remains unclear whether Giorgi will ever return to professional tennis.
