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.
