Confirmed. There will be no relegation for Juventus after the fictitious capital gains case that the Italian Football Federation has been investigating for months. Neither the 'bianconeri' nor any of the other investigated clubs (which are not few) will experience a new 'Calciopoli'.


As the competent bodies have explained, the FIGC Prosecutor's Office requested a 12-month disqualification for the president of Juventus, Andrea Agnelli, and a fine of 800 thousand euros to the Turin club for the investigation of capital gains, in the trial before the Federal Court that began today and that involves 10 other clubs.


Among the other Juventus managers involved there are also requests for sanction: for Paratici, signatory of 32 contracts with valuations considered inflated, 16 months and 10 days of disqualification were requested (he is currently at Tottenham as Sports Director), for Cherubini 6 months and 20 days, for Nedved and Arrivabene (former Ferrari and now CEO of the club), 8 months.


According to the accusation of the FIGC Prosecutor's Office and documents leaked by 'Calcio e Finanza' in Italy, these are "real" capital gains of 28.2 million, therefore considering fictitious capital gains of 60.3 million. That is, the market values ​​of players were inflated to sell them at a higher price.


But... Why would another club agree to buy it at that price? Very easy. Juventus was made with a footballer from that entity at the same or similar price. The case of Arthur - Pjanic is the best example, the one that uncovered a way of working that had been leaving 'strange' operations for years. Everything, however, within the legality since it is impossible to set the market price of a footballer.


In order to prove that something has been illegal, the Prosecutor's Office has had to go into accounting aspects and take advantage of the fact that Juventus is a company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange.


But... why don't Juventus get relegated to Serie B? According to the FIGC Prosecutor's Office, these fictitious capital gains have had no impact on the club's ability to enter the championship or not.


Sanction also for Napoli


It is a fine of 329,000 euros for the club and a request for disqualification for De Laurentiis of 11 months and 5 days. In addition, other managers of the Neapolitan club also involved.


There are 11 clubs involved, including 5 from Serie A (Juve, Napoli, Sampdoria, Empoli and Genoa), 2 from Serie B (Pisa and Parma), plus Pro Vercelli and Pescara (Serie C) and the already bankrupt Chievo and Novara.
