Former Juventus President Andrea Agnelli has been banned for 16 more months and fined €60,000 in a second FIGC trial.

Contrary to Juventus, the ex-President refused a plea bargain with Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné at the end of May in a second FIGC trial looking into the so-called salary manoeuvres, the relationships with agents and other clubs.

Agnelli opted to go on trial, but the outcome was not satisfying as he was banned for 16 more months and received a €60,000 fine, FIGC confirmed on Monday.

The former Bianconeri President had already received a two-year ban in the first FIGC trial concerning Juventus’ artificially inflated transfer values. Juventus were docked 10 points in the first trial but escaped further sporting sanctions in the second, getting a fine of over €700,000 following a plea bargain.

Agnelli stepped down as Juventus President at the end of 2022 alongside the rest of the board of directors.

The club and Exor have distanced themselves from the ex-President through a plea bargain with FIGC and by quitting the Super League project of which Agnelli was one of the principal architects.
