Recently retired tennis player Camila Giorgi on the run from Italian tax authorities, per report

This week, Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi, who achieved a ranking of No. 26 in the world, abruptly retired without a statement giving a reason why.

On Saturday, La Gazzetta dello Sporto , an Italian newspaper, reported that retirement is not a coincidence.

According to the report, The Guardia di Finanza, Italy's financial police, is looking for Giorgi and investigating her nonpayment of taxes and undeclared income.

Authorities are also investigating Giorgi's family members, including her mother, father and two brothers, all of whom are alleged to have "gaps" in their tax return filings.

Giorgi, 32, has not been seen since her retirement was announced May 7. The last time she competed in a tournament was last month at the Miami Open, where she was routed 6-1, 6-1 by Iga Swiatek in the second round.

Giorgi is already under investigation for allegedly forging her COVID-19 vaccine documentation to gain entry to the 2022 Australian Open and was scheduled to appear before a judge in Italy on July 16.

According to the newspaper report, Giorgi and her family are on the run and are believed to be in the United States.

2024 Preakness Stakes horses, futures, odds, date: Expert who hit last year's superfecta gives out picks

Jody demling revealed his preakness stakes 2024 picks for the second leg of horse racing's triple crown on saturday, may 18 at pimlico race course.

A rematch of the Arkansas Derby is on tap at the 2024 Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. In that race, Muth scored a two-length victory over Just Steel and finished six lengths ahead of Mystik Dan. All three of those horses are in the 2024 Preakness Stakes field, which was finalized during Monday's 2024 Preakness Stakes post draw. Muth was ineligible for the Kentucky Derby due to trainer Bob Baffert's suspension, but he comes to Pimlico as the 8-5 favorite in the 2024 Preakness Stakes odds.

Mystik Dan, attempting to capture the second jewel of the Triple Crown, is next in the Preakness Stakes 2024 odds at 5-2, while Just Steel is a longshot among the 2024 Preakness Stakes horses at 15-1. The 2024 Preakness Stakes post time is 7:01 p.m. ET. Before making any 2024 Preakness Stakes picks, be sure to see the horse racing predictions and futures bets from SportsLine's elite horse racing expert Jody Demling .

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the 2024 Kentucky Derby having nailed the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last six years, including an exacta in 2022 with Mo Donegal and Nest. He also called Flightline's win at the Breeders' Cup Classic in November of that year. 

Demling is at his best in the biggest horse races in the world like the Preakness Stakes 2024. In fact, he has hit 11 of the last 16 Derby-Oaks doubles at Churchill Downs. He's also called 10 of the last 19 Preakness winners, including nailing his Preakness winner, exacta, trifecta and superfecta picks in 2023. He keenly understands when the Kentucky Derby winner was poised for victory or a massive upset in the second leg of the Triple Crown. Anyone who has followed him is up huge.

Now, with the 2024 Preakness Stakes quickly approaching, Demling is sharing his picks and 2024 Preakness Stakes predictions over at SportsLine. Go here to see them .

Top 2024 Preakness Stakes predictions

One of Demling's surprising 2024 Preakness Stakes picks: He is high on Catching Freedom, even though he's a 6-1 longshot. The Brad Cox-trained colt hit the board at the Kentucky Derby, finishing fourth, within two lengths of the trio that came down to a photo finish. That's nothing new for Catching Freedom, who has finished fourth or better in all six of his career races.

Cox was hesitant about sending Catching Freedom to Baltimore initially after the Kentucky Derby, but loved how he looked the week after. He'll be ridden by jockey Flavien Prat, who rode Rombauer to a surprising Preakness win in 2021. Demling notes that Cox "must like something" about Catching Freedom to enter him on Saturday, so he's including him in his 2024 Preakness Stakes bets.  See which other horses to back at SportsLine .

How to make 2024 Preakness Stakes picks, bets

Demling is especially high a dark-horse who could have a leg-up on the competition because of extra rest.  Demling is sharing which horse it is, and his surprising prediction for Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan, along with his entire projected 2024 Preakness Stakes leaderboard, over at SportsLine .

Which horse wins the Preakness Stakes 2024, and which dark-horse is a must-back? Check out the latest 2024 Preakness Stakes odds below, then visit SportsLine to see Demling's picks for the Preakness Stakes, all from the expert who nailed 11 Derby-Oaks doubles and hit last year's Preakness Stakes superfecta .

Itasca county paints over jail's ten commandments.

DULUTH - The Ten Commandments display painted inside the Itasca County jail is no more, painted over with two coats.

The list of religious texts stood two stories high inside the jail's gym until earlier this month, part of a recently completed $75 million justice complex in Grand Rapids. Other inspirational and religious quotes painted inside the jail were also covered, said Brett Skyles, Itasca County administrator.

"Ultimately, it just had to do with defending the situation and how many public dollars might be at risk there," he said, noting Sheriff Joe Dasovich made the decision to repaint. Dasovich was unavailable for comment Monday.

The oversized display was discovered during tours of the new northeast Minnesota facility. The Madison, Wis.-based Freedom From Religion Foundation had received 20 complaints by the end of April, many contending the displays were unconstitutional. It sent a letter to the county asking it to investigate and remove the religious writings.

Last week, residents packed a tense County Board meeting, many criticizing the commissioners for leaving the decision to the sheriff. One man called them cowards for playing to a "very small minority" and another compared the commandments to laws, saying the county may as well do away with speed limits if it's going to remove the commandments.

Grand Rapids resident Deborah Salisbury pleaded with the board to keep the walls as they were, saying inmates would benefit from exposure to the religious guidance.

"Some don't even know the name of Jesus until they come in here," she said.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation argued that the religious displays violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment, which says government must remain neutral about religion. One quote painted on cell block walls and attributed to former President Ronald Reagan reads, "Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face."

The foundation said Monday it was pleased that "the Constitution prevailed over the desire of some county officials to create a coercive religious environment."

"These displays imposed religious views on a literal captive audience," said its co-president, Annie Laurie Gaylor, in a statement. "Even those who are incarcerated have the right to be free from religion."

Jail administrator Lucas Thompson made the decision to install the quotes and commandments. The County Board initially determined the size of the project, Skyles said, but it didn't "pick the color of the carpet or where TVs go or anything in the jail."

He didn't have figures readily available for the cost of either paint project.

County commissioners told constituents last week they'd received hundreds of emails, calls and texts about the religious writings, more in favor than against. Several commissioners pointed to their own Christianity and explained they'd prefer to leave the walls untouched.

"I will go down swinging on this one but it has to follow proper channels," Commissioner Casey Venema said.

Dasovich, elected in 2023, said previously that because voluntary faith-based programs offered at the jail are well-attended, he didn't foresee opposition from inmates.

Itasca County resident Karen Ferlaak complained to the County Board about the religious nature of the artwork and of the expense.

"I don't mind sayings on the walls if they're accurate and they're not religious-based," she said, noting some of the quotes were attributed incorrectly. "We're upset over the cost of having to repaint and the cost for putting it up [in the first place]. We just need to stay in our own lane. It wasn't well thought out."

The state Corrections Department ordered the former Itasca County jail replaced because of deterioration. Instead of a 10% increase to property taxes, county residents approved a 1% sales tax in 2022.
