Juventus sporting director Federico Cherubini reportedly spent nine hours in a classified hearing at the Public Prosecutor’s Office yesterday.
The Bianconeri are under investigation for false accounting and the club risks a fine or receiving points deduction if found guilty.
The news broke on Friday, as the Guardia di Finanza, the Italian Financial Police, arrived at Continassa to confiscate documents regarding transfers from 2019 and 2020.
Director Cherubini was interrogated as a person informed of the facts about the capital gain system, by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Guardia di Finanza.
Juventus under investigation: what happens now and what the club risks
La Gazzetta dello sport reports the hearing lasted for nine hours and at the end the report with the director’s words was classified.
Cherubini was sporting director Fabio Paratici’s right-hand man and took over his role when the latter moved to Tottenham Hotspur over the summer.
The report reveals Cherubini is the first Juventus manager to be questioned by the authorities, but he will not be the last.
The newspaper highlights the large amount of material being examined and the involvement of many other professionals, including agents.
Daaayum 9 hours, I wonder if he flipped on rubentus or held strong, is he the kind of person to cut a deal or was it Omerta for him
This individual is no saviour for us despite this investigation. He needed days just to complete the Locatelli transfer and needed Agnelli to come in. Shameful that we have to resort to desperate tactics on the transfer scene. Arrivabene is another Jean Claude Blanc and has not football knowledge. He was a total disaster at Ferrari and will do nothing for us.
