Juventus. The FIGC prosecutor opens an investigation into private agreements with the players

The Prosecutor of the Football Federation has opened a proceeding on the private agreements between Juventus and its players, through which, according to the hypothesis of the Public Prosecutor of Turin, a fictitious cut in salaries and a reduction in costs in the balance sheets of 30 would have been obtained. June 2020 and 30 June 2021 omitting the debt position towards the members. The federal prosecutor’s office, led by Giuseppe Chinè, had received in recent days from the Turin magistrates the documents relating to the investigations into the capital gains of the Juventus club, whose board resigned yesterday.

On this front, the investigation by the federal prosecutor’s office has therefore already been launched as the matter is not included in the sports justice procedure which ended last May, with the final decision pronounced by the federal appeals court in joint sections. In that case, in fact, the so-called capital gains had ended (9 clubs and 59 managers): the two levels of sports judgment had established the impossibility of defining an objective method for evaluating the market value of a player. On this aspect, the Prosecutor Chinè will have to verify whether among the documents, never previously sent to the sports justice body, and in particular in the results of the operations of interception of conversations, new facts emerge that can be considered decisive for the revision of that decision , at least as regards the facts disputed against Juventus.
