Giorgio Chiellini has been implicated in the ongoing capital gains case against Juventus.
Prosecutors have been seeking evidence to probe Juve for what they believe to be false accounting by the Bianconeri.
Searches have been made in law offices in Italy. More details about what has been discovered are now emerging.
A report by Football Italia reveals that Chiellini has been implicated in the case as the then team captain.
Juve claim that some players lost their wages during the covid-19 pandemic, but there is now evidence that at least Cristiano Ronaldo did not.
The report reveals that there was an uproar in the team’s WhatsApp group and Chiellini said: ‘guys calm down. I’m going to go to the president and I’m going to sign a guarantee order. He also urged them not to discuss any deals with the press.
Juve FC says
This investigation is getting deep and complicated and could distract the club from their problems on the pitch.
What we need now is to get as many wins as possible to make sure we can get closer to the top of the league table.
Max Allegri has to focus his players on the tasks at hand because he risks losing his job if the team can’t get back into shape soon enough.
