Although Juventus was acquitted in the sporting trial earlier this year, a criminal investigation into the capital gains case is still ongoing.
The federal prosecutor suspects that the club has carried out some dubious deals to record artificial capital gains illegally, such as recording inflated transfer values ​​when buying players.
In addition, the club could also face problems for allegedly hiding some of the salaries paid by players during the Covid-19 pandemic from balance sheets.
Additional evidence has been emerging in recent days as reported by the Italian media, the latest being a notebook held by current sporting director Federico Cherubini.
According to La Repubblica via ilBianconero, Cherubini rebuked his predecessor Fabio Paratici for the way he conducted business and described his plans as disastrous.
In his notebook, the current Juventus manager reportedly mentioned how Paratici acted unprofessionally, sometimes holding meetings in the sauna or at the hairdresser’s.
The source also mentions how Cherubini berated the current Tottenham manager for his excessive use of artificial capital gains, which could be damning evidence if true. He says that these tactics offer immediate gain but have serious long-term consequences.
Finally, Cherubini allegedly accuses Paratici of destroying an entire generation of gamers (perhaps referencing the sales of Moise Kean, Leandro Spinazzola, and Emil Audero) while making mindless purchases.
