The trial of Andrea Agnelli and other Juventus executives will begin soon as prosecutors build a case against them to prove they have tampered with the club’s books.
Agnelli and his board of directors resigned, and the bianconeri appointed a new club president, postponing a decision to appoint a new board until next year.
The trial is expected to bring a number of damning pieces of evidence to the court to show that Juventus have been dubious in some of their business dealings.
Although the case is being handled by the Turin Prosecutor’s Office, a report in Tuttomercatoweb reveals that they are asking for him to move to Milan.
A judge has yet to rule on the request, but the Bianconeri’s chances of getting their wish are not so good.
Juve FC says
The investigation of this case has been going on for a long time and clearly we are already tired.
However, it is a strong case and we must be prepared to defend ourselves if we insist we have done nothing wrong and the club expect their lawyers to be capable.
The worst case scenario, if we have done something wrong, is to pay a huge fine.
So we need to start planning for the return of club football after the World Cup, because we need success on the pitch to distract us from the problems we’ve suffered off the pitch recently.
