The prosecutor has officially requested a 9-point deduction for Juventus and suspensions for Andrea Agnelli, Fabio Paratici and Federico Cherubini.
The second sporting trial for alleged financial irregularities made by Juventus and other Serie A clubs is taking place in Rome today. This morning, FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné requested a nine-point deduction for the Bianconeri.
According to Repubblica, the suspension would be valid for this season and, if found guilty, Juventus can lodge an appeal to CONI’s Collegio di Garanzia.
Juventus and other 10 Serie A clubs had been cleared of allegations in the first sporting trial for inflated transfer values in April 2022.
However, a new case was opened following a criminal investigation into Juventus’ finances, carried out by the Turin Prosecutor which brought to light new evidence against the Bianconeri and other clubs: Sampdoria, Empoli, Genoa, Parma, Pisa, Pescara, Pro Vercelli and Novara.
This sporting trial only concerns the investigation into inflated transfer values, while the Sporting Justice is investigating another case regarding salaries allegedly paid under the table by the Bianconeri after the COVID pandemic.
The Prosecutor also asked for a 16-month suspension for ex-Juventus President Andrea Agnelli, 20 months and 10 days for Fabio Paratici, 10 months for Federico Cherubini and Juventus board members, including ex-vice President Pavel Nedved.
Defense lawyers will now take the floor and a court will decide today whether to go ahead with this second trial or end the case.
Agnelli, Nedved and Juventus members resigned on November 28, 2022 and the new board of directors took place for the first time this past Wednesday, chaired by Agnelli’s successor Gianluca Ferrero.
