The Italian FA has decided to open an investigation into the allegations that Juventus secretly paid players salaries in the early stages of the COVID pandemic.
The Bianconeri were previously in hot water for allegedly inflating players transfer values in order to help balance their books, but they were cleared of any sporting wrongdoing in April of this year. More concerning, however, is the suggestion that Juventus lied about suspending players salaries in the early months of the COVID pandemic back in 2020, allegedly paying their players under the table.
As reported by Sportface, the FIGC prosector has now opened an investigation into Juventus and any hidden player salary payments, which could see them in serious trouble.
According to Article No.31 of the Sporting Justice Code, the ‘falsification of accounting or administrative documents or any other illegal or evasive activity’ directly leading to the club’s registration for the Serie A season could cause a points deduction or even relegation.
Chairman Andrea Agnelli and the Juventus board of directors unexpectedly resigned on Monday and this situation is seemingly the root cause of that move.
They let them off over the inflated transfer fees as investigators outside of the football world weren’t involved. But they won’t be allowed to let them off again. If the evidence is credible and guilt is proven, then it means that they are financially broken and demotion should be a formality.
Good but this time no reprieve. A full audit must be conducted. Not by the Italians but rather hire a foreign group with no skin the game and dish out fines, relegation to Serie D, ban from Europe for 20 years. Maybe not so much Europe as the CL is 3000 lights years away. Most importantly deduct those titles. The 7/9 will always try this again and third time is the charm.
Rosario and Clown wetting their nappies again.
Can someone tell me what going on with the Super League tho, is that still on?
Oh come on! This didn’t impact their ability to register to subsequent Serie A season, so relegation should be unlikely.
Agnelli and all directors will be given lifetime bans from calcio and the team will be given a hefty fine, transfer ban, and possible points deduction.
Also, FI….why is it so difficult to post legitimate comments when you’ve got people like Lord who posts nonsense, explicit comments and images and other idiocies and seems to have no issue posting.
