In addition, five leaders were sanctioned after the investigation. Among them, Pavel Nedvev, former Ballon d’Or and vice-president of the Italian team.
A day of strong emotions has been experienced in Italian football this January 20 and it is that the prosecutor of Serie A FIGC has determined that Juventus will lose 15 points for their involvement in the manipulation of transfers for accounting purposes. In addition, five leaders were disqualified from holding administrative positions, including former president Andrea Agnelli and vice president Pavel Nedved.
The names involved in the fraudulent exercises are Fabio Paratici (2.5 years disabled), Andrea Agnelli (2 years), Maurizio Arrivabene (2 years), Federico Cherubini (1.4 years) and Pavel Nedved (8 months) . The sporting punishment, on the other hand, takes Juventus from third place in Serie A to eleventh and remains with only 22 points, completely out of the fight for the title.
Accusations which are confirmed after an investigation into alleged fictitious capital gains which would reach an amount of approximately 155 million euros, in addition to economic losses declared lower than reality.
For example, the survey shows that Juventus achieved between 2018 and 2020 “ swaps that have not generated financial movements, with values established arbitrarily by the two parties and with the aim of satisfying the needs of the balance sheet”.
Of course, the episode is not yet over, since the Vecchia Signora will be able to appeal this sanction before the College of Guarantee of the Olympic Committee, third and last degree of Italian sports justice.
