The FIGC’s prosecutor has officially requested a 9-point deduction for Juventus and suspensions for Andrea Agnelli, Fabio Paratici and Federico Cherubini.

The second sporting trial for alleged financial irregularities made by Juventus and other Serie A clubs is taking place in Rome today. This morning, FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné requested a nine-point deduction for the Bianconeri.

According to Repubblica, the suspension would be valid for this season and, if found guilty, Juventus can lodge an appeal to CONI’s Collegio di Garanzia.

Juventus and other 10 Serie A clubs had been cleared of allegations in the first sporting trial for inflated transfer values in April 2022.

However, a new case was opened following a criminal investigation into Juventus’ finances, carried out by the Turin Prosecutor which brought to light new evidence against the Bianconeri and other clubs: Sampdoria, Empoli, Genoa, Parma, Pisa, Pescara, Pro Vercelli and Novara.

This sporting trial only concerns the investigation into inflated transfer values, while the Sporting Justice is investigating another case regarding salaries allegedly paid under the table by the Bianconeri after the COVID pandemic.

The Prosecutor also asked for a 16-month suspension for ex-Juventus President Andrea Agnelli, 20 months and 10 days for Fabio Paratici, 10 months for Federico Cherubini and Juventus board members, including ex-vice President Pavel Nedved.

Defense lawyers will now take the floor and a court will decide today whether to go ahead with this second trial or end the case.

Agnelli, Nedved and Juventus members resigned on November 28, 2022 and the new board of directors took place for the first time this past Wednesday, chaired by Agnelli’s successor Gianluca Ferrero.

  1. So you and your whole staff commit financial, sporting and stock market fraud, to buy players you cannot afford who make you millions, and the risk is 9 points? Absurd

  2. I asked this question before but didn’t get any response. How is this not a Big deal, as a public company the allegations would indicate that they defrauded the public. Who regulates the stock market there and why are they the ones investigating?

  3. If there is no harsh penalty if found guilty I’ll take it as nothing changed in Italy since 2006 so I’ll stop watching Serie A. Hurt them where they feel it: in their pockets!

  4. Samya still blames Moratti when he isn’t even at Inter now haha. Delusional little girl. Samya, why you think your board resigned? Because their cheating was exposed. Deal with it and stop blaming Moratti, USA, Israel conspiracies

  5. In reading the article this only pertains to the ” inflated transfer values”. I wonder if there will be further actions involving point deductions?
    For a crime(s) that forced the resignation of all directors i would say 9 points is a slap on the wrist .
