On Friday, the Italian Football Association (FIGC) announced that Juventus will be known as JUVE.It is alleged that there were irregularities in the club’s payments to players, as well as undue contacts with player’s agents and other clubs. As a result, MI would be required to testify in a sporting trial over these allegations.
The club is already facing a different sports trial, and a fresh decision about that case is anticipated to be issued on Monday. The new sports trial, which may result in further sporting penalties, such as additional point deductions, adds to the club’s existing predicament.
As part of the continuing investigation that is centered on the club’s transfer transactions, Juventus was assessed a 15 point penalty in January. This punishment was later overturned by Italy’s highest sports authority, which ordered football authorities to undertake a new investigation into the club’s transfer operations.
Juve now sit in second place in Serie A with 69 points, behind the league champions Napoli by two points going into their last three games of the season. The most successful team in Italy, Juventus, is at risk of being eliminated from qualification for lucrative European competitions if they receive a points deduction of any kind.
In the semi-finals of the Europa League, which took place on Thursday, Seville prevailed against Juventus.
FIGC prosecutors believe that Juventus agreed to give players back the majority of their COVID-19-related wage cutbacks without properly accounting for it. This allegation is being made as part of a new sport trial that has been ordered against Juventus and also concerns past and present officials of the club, including Andrea Agnelli, the club’s former chairman.
On Friday, Juventus chose not to elaborate more on their earlier statement that they had “correctly applied the relevant international accounting standards.” Earlier in the week, Juventus had stated that they had “correctly applied” those criteria.
FIGC stated on Friday that the other teams with whom Juventus was allegedly keeping improper contacts include Sampdoria, Atalanta, Sassuolo, Udinese, Bologna, and Cagliari. However, FIGC stressed that they were still investigating these other teams.
