Juventus has just been docked 15 points in Serie A after the FIGC found them guilty of cooking their books.
The Bianconeri had been cleared of all wrongdoings in the first investigation into their use of capital gains.
However, the FIGC reopened the case and quickly handed the club a punishment and bans to some of their former executives.
The TV presenter Massimo Giletti has now questioned why the black and whites were tried twice for the same offence.
He said via Tuttojuve:
“The club used as a scapegoat is wrong to hit only us. It amazes me that two trials can be made in the world of football on the same accusation, surprising. The other companies came out without a scratch, Juve with exemplary treatment. Here perhaps someone has not understood that hitting Juve hurts all Italian football”.
Juve FC Says
As one of the biggest clubs in the world, Juve is an easy target and the Bianconeri clearly fell into the trap of prosecutors.
Other clubs had done business with them but haven’t been punished the way Max Allegri’s men have, which says a lot about what the prosecutors think of Juve.
The club has maintained its innocence and needs to work to prove it has done nothing wrong.
Yeah because, apparently, fiddling numbers and false reporting is a ‘trap’ right? This is why people turn off brand fan media. The only thing baffling is why not just punish us at the end of the season? And to all saying I’m anti-Juventus or whatever, I am the one exactly the opposite…..doing and saying nothing is much more damaging. the whole board resigned en masse. You don’t just do that. The whole board. unless you know something is very wrong.
Last time I looked it takes two parties to complete a transaction. So where is the punishment for the other side in this case? And as it has been revealed, the Ohsimhen transaction for Napoli was based on valuing 4 minor league players, currently playing Serie D OR lower, 20 million euro. Somehow this transaction has not raised the prosecutor’s concern. And there are many many other glanced over examples.
Italy is so damn corrupt that Mexico looks positively transparent by comparison. If you think this is about “plusvalenze” and not a power struggle with the Agnelli family, you really don’t understand Italian power dynamics.
