La Repubblica: Prosecutors bring Juventus new allegations of financial fraud
The leadership of the Turin “Juventus” was charged with new charges in connection with financial fraud. It is reported by La Repubblica.
According to the source, the prosecutor’s office of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) believes that the team bosses organized illegal salary actions with the club fund during the coronavirus pandemic in the 2019/2020 season. It is noted that the first court hearing in the new case should take place in June 2023.
The first trial against the “old lady” took place in January 2023. The team was deprived of 15 points in the Italian championship, but three months later Juventus managed to challenge the decision.
In November 2022, President Andrea Agnelli and most of the Juventus leadership resigned. At the same time, 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.
