Biography

edit

Roi Zorzi was born in Arzignano, near Vicenza, Italy, on July 3, 1947. In 1968 he moved to Naples to study Asian languages, later graduating with a PhD. In 1974 he moved to Japan and in 1989 he took Japanese citizenship with his present name, Roi Hagen.[1]

In September 2005 an article by the magazine L'Espresso accused Zorzi of dealing furs in Italy via a series of firms under an assumed alias.[2] In 2014, the supreme Court of Cassation also acquitted Zorzi from the accusation.[3]

Zorzi is the financial director behind several fashion stores (i.e luxury bags, furs, leather) in Europe, including some in Sweden.[4] In October 2021, his name was mentioned in the Pandora Papers. Accused of tax evasion to the tune of 75 million euros to the tax authorities, he had bought a luxury home using the services of a shell company.[5]
