The Milan prosecutor has concluded the investigation and it is now up to a judge to decide if any of the 43, including Maldini's wife, should be charged and sent to trial for corruption and abusive access of information systems.
A tax agency employee was arrested last June as a result of the inquiry and judicial papers show Maldini was caught on a phone tap in January 2009 asking the employee to compile a tax check on another man over a property deal.
"Maldini is certain he can demonstrate that he and his wife are not involved," Maldini's lawyer Danilo Buongiorno said in a statement.
"They should have been seen as victims, certainly not people to be investigated."
