Juventus Stumbled on a Case of Financial Fraud, Cristiano Ronaldo Is Called to be Dragged Along

DBasia.news – Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, reportedly could be dragged into the case experienced by Juventus. The existence of Ronaldo is as a witness.

Authorities are investigating Juventus’ finances as part of a case known as plusvalenze. La Vecchia Signora reportedly committed fraud to achieve capital gains. Juve accused of falsifying books and transfers of 50 million euros.

The investigation began with a file opened by the Turin Prosecutor’s Office after the CONSOB and COVISOC investigations. Juventus officials such as Andrea Agnelli (club president), Pavel Nedved (vice president), to Fabio Paratici (former director) were also questioned.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport report, Cristiano Ronaldo can also be brought in as a witness. Although, Corriere della Sera assesses that the most likely to come is his agent, Jorge Mendes. The man from Portugal is reportedly set to testify before the Christmas holiday.

Furthermore, Corriere reported that wiretapping revealed that lawyer Cesare Gabasio and director Federico Cherubini were communicating about documents that should not exist.

Because Juventus is on the stock market, transfers and contracts of players are more open, which increases the potential for investigation by the authorities.

Meanwhile, the director of the Juventus Under-23 team, Giovanni Manna, was reportedly questioned for three hours. Meanwhile, Juventus’ finance directors who were called in to provide evidence, Marco Re and Stefano Bertola, declined to answer questions.

If proven, various penalties await Juventus. Juve can be punished with a point deduction, a reduction in the number of players in European competitions, the removal of the Scudetto title, relegation, and being kicked out of the competition. It all depends on the error rate.
