Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC)
Prosecutor Giuseppe Chine' on Friday requested that a sporting
tribunal hand Juventus a nine-point penalty in Serie A over
allegations that it inflated earnings from player transfers on
its balance sheets, sources said Friday.
The prosecutor requested that former Juve chairman Andrea
Agnelli be banned from involvement in the soccer for 16 months,
former director of sport Fabio Paratici, now with Tottenham
Hotspur, be banned for 20 months and 10 days and other former
directors be banned for 12 months.
The Serie A giants appointed a new board on Wednesday after
Agnelli and the other directors quit in November amid a probe by
Turin prosecutors into allegations that the club had presented
false information to investors about its accounts in recent
years.
The accounts of the club, a listed company, have also come under
the scrutiny of Italian stock-market regulator Consob.
Criminal prosecutors are also looking into allegations that the
Serie A club made secret salary payments after declaring that
players had agreed to take wage cuts during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Juventus are currently third in Serie A with 37 points from 18
games, 10 points behind leaders Napoli.
