for Agnelli requested (and rejected) the domiciliari- Corriere.it

The request for a precautionary measure (house arrest) for Andrea Agnelli – rejected on 12 October by the investigating magistrate – and the registration among the suspects of the CEO Maurizio Arrivabene are the news of the last step of the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office in the context of the investigation into the accounts of Juve, for which the notices of the end of the investigation were notified yesterday. We talk about capital gains on the exchange value of the players, the salaries of the players officially canceled due to the Covid emergency and in reality only postponed, false invoicing for non-existent services. Basically, false accounting and false communications to the market. And lastly, an obstacle to the Consob supervisory bodies and information manipulation.

Are the offenses that the prosecutor added Marco Gianoglio and the prosecutors Mario Bendoni and Ciro Santoriello, contest at the top of the club. After 11 months of verifications – coordinating the military of the financial police unit of the financial police – the magistrates thus closed the investigation against 16 suspects, the company and 15 people. In addition to Arrivabene there are Francesco Roncaglio and Enrico Vellano (both on the board of directors); with the president Agnelli, the vice Pavel Nedved, the former ds Fabio Paratici. In light of the findings of the yellow flames of Turin, members of the board of statutory auditors and the auditor are added to the list of suspects.

According to the hypothesis of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, in the three years between 2018 and 2020 (which was followed by the approval of the financial statements), exchange operations would have been carried out distonic with respect to the national scenario. In practice, for a certain number of athletes, the exchange values ​​would have been decided in an arbitrary way in order to meet the budgetary needs of the moment. And for the same reason they would have been created thereand salary maneuvers for the 2019/2020 sports season and the subsequent 2020/2021: the players – many of whom have paraded in recent months in the Prosecutor’s Office as witnesses – would have renounced (due to the pandemic) to receive only one month instead of the four communicated. The evidence would be in private and secret documents, found in offices outside the club, containing the club’s unconditional commitment to pay salaries even in the event of the player’s transfer. Among these operations would include Ronaldo’s famous secret card: the document which – according to some interceptions – must not exist. The prosecutor had filed an international rogatory to hear the Portuguese champion, but he made it known through the lawyers that he would not reach Turin.

The salary maneuvers would have had repercussions on the budget approved in October 2021 for an amount of 27 million euros, which would not have been communicated to the Consob when the supervisory body sends a request for information: hence the false corporate communications and objection to supervision. Capital gains and salaries officially canceled and only deferred would have produced a make-up of the balance sheet: in 2020 an operating loss of 209 million was declared, instead of 222, and a positive net worth of 28 million, instead of a negative net worth of 175 million. The previous year 89 million, instead of 236, and net worth of 239 million, instead of the 47 estimated by the financiers. Moral, for the accusation: information manipulation and false invoicing for non-existent operations. Now the suspects have twenty days to file defensive briefs and be questioned by the prosecutors.
