Gigi Becali claimed he paid Marius Lăcătuș and Adrian Bumbescu "off the books" in the past. Lăcătuș, present during the TV broadcast, immediately denied Becali's statement. Becali stated he paid players "under the table" while they had official low salaries. Lăcătuș countered that he signed pay slips and left the club after two months without his salary, feeling he had been foolish to trust Becali. Becali also mentioned paying a significant debt for the Steaua club and later settling a large sum with the state due to his past tax practices, asserting his conscience led him to rectify the situation.
