La Gazzetta dello Sport: UEFA will remove Juventus from European competitions for financial fraud
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) thought about the removal of the Italian “Juventus” from European competition for financial fraud. The threat looming over the team is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to the source, the reason for possible sanctions will be the machinations of the leadership of Turintsy in the payment of salaries. If the fact of such violations is proved, UEFA will study the situation, taking into account the new financial indicators of the club. It is noted that the suspension will take effect when Juventus enters the European Cup zone.
On January 21, the court of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) punished Juventus in a case of financial fraud. The team was deprived of 15 points in the Italian championship, which is why it is now in tenth place in the standings with 22 points.
In November 2022, President Andrea Agnelli and most of the Juventus leadership resigned. Then they were accused of overestimating the transfer cost of the players, as well as understating the cost of employees and hiding the true size of the salaries of the players.
