Other leaders of the Turin club were also punished.
Former President of Juventus Andrea Agnelli suspended from football two years. Former vice-president of Turintsy Pavel Nedved prohibited from engaging in football activities during eight months.
The Italian Football Federation Court (FIGC) has also set penalties for other functionaries. Ex-athletic director suspended for two and a half years Fabio Paraticinow at Tottenham Hotspur, two-year ban received by former managing director Maurizio Arrivabene. The only member of the board of directors who remained working at the club, the sports director Federico Cherubinireceived a 16-month ban from football activities.
Recall, FIGC granted the petition of the prosecutor, who demanded punishment for the club for violating financial fair play. 15 points have been deducted from Juventus. The prosecutor’s office demanded a 9-point penalty and a shorter suspension, but the court decided that such a measure would not be sufficient.
The Chamber of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body is examining the contracts of several football players, suspecting financial fraud in them. In case of confirmation of violations of the law, the club faces fines from UEFA, including for the guilty players.
Recall that the Chamber of Financial Control concluded a settlement agreement with Juventus in August. The deal was completed based on financial information for 2018-2022 provided by the club. Later, however, the Italian Commission for Companies and Exchanges, together with the Turin prosecutor’s office, released data on alleged financial violations by Juventus.
Juventus have dropped to 10th in Serie A with Massimiliano Allegri’s team now on 22 points. In the next round, Juventus will host Atalanta on January 22.
