Juventus, UEFA awaits file from Prosecutor’s Office: European cups at risk. That’s what it all depends on
The moment in the Juventus household is boiling hot. Boiling hot, despite the fact that temperatures have dropped considerably in recent times. The investigation by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office and the subsequent resignation of president Agnelli and the entire board of directors have been two difficult blows to digest for Exor, the holding company that manages the Bianconeri, who risk, according to the latest rumours by experts, a second Calciopoli.
It is not only in Italy that the risk of relegation or a penalty becomes concrete: according to the Gazzetta dello Sport on newsstands this morning, even UEFA is waiting for the Prosecutor’s Office’s papers to make a decision. Relations are certainly not very good, especially the facts of the SuperLega. And should the documents prove a circumvention of the Financial Fair Play, then things could indeed be tragic.

As we have already reported, UEFA has also opened a file against the Piedmontese, not limiting itself in this case to collaborating with Consob, but opening its own investigation in an attempt to shed light on the facts.
What UEFA actually needs to understand is the balance sheet situation. At those latitudes, the newspaper goes on to explain, the movements from one year to the next are of little importance, what really matters are the possible payments in black, “such as through offshore companies, so as not to show higher liabilities, deceiving Fair Play”. And in this case, nothing but a fine: the farewell to the European cups would be a very high, enormous risk, which you can almost touch with your hand. A situation that really has to be taken into serious consideration. An enormous damage not only for Juventus but also for the image of Italian football which, at the moment, is not making a good impression.
