Throughout the previous campaign, Juventus were haunted by a never-ending investigation into alleged illegally recorded capital gains.
At the end of the day, the sports court acquitted the club, as well as a number of high-ranking officials who were indicted by investigators. The list includes president Andrea Agnelli, vice president Pavel Nedved, general manager Maurizio Arrivabene and former sporting director Fabio Paratici.
However, the case known as “Prism” is not over yet. After the sports trial, the club is about to face criminal justice.
According to Calciomercato, there are 16 suspects under investigation at Juventus, one of which is the club as an independent entity, plus 15 of its officials.
In addition, the source claims that the investigators asked to put Agnelli under house arrest.
Fortunately for the employer, the request was rejected by the judge who considered such a measure unnecessary since there is no risk of escaping justice or destroying evidence.
After concluding the investigation, prosecutors will now file charges against the club and its officials, and if the judge accepts it, they will have their day in court.
As the source mentions, prosecutors will accuse the club of concealing the real values of some of its transfer deals while also taking suspicious actions related to player salaries during the Covid-19 pandemic.
