Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli
never phoned alleged Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia boss Rocco
Dominello over tickets, Juve lawyer Luigi Chiappero told the
parliamentary anti-mafia commission Wednesday.
"There is no wiretap that regards the Juventus chairman,
never any reference to a meeting, never," said Chiappero.
"There are two phone calls between the chairman and
Alessandro D'Angelo, the (Juve) security manager, and six phone
calls in which third parties speak of the chairman in a way that
is irrelevant to the tickets," he said, noting that, at the time
of the wiretapped conversations, Dominello had no criminal
record.
Commission Chair Rosy Bindi said "we are worried about the
phenomenon" of alleged ticket provisions for mafia members.
Chiappero denied this had ever happened.
Agnelli is "totally" willing to testify to the parliamentary
anti-mafia commission on alleged Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia
infiltration of Juve fan circles, Chiappero said.
"There is total and full willingness by our chairman to come
here and give his contribution," Chiappero told the commission.
Agnelli was recently alleged to have had "contacts" with
suspected 'Ndrangheta clan head Dominello over ticketing.
He has denied the accusations.
