Juventus Football Club S.p.A. informs that the Federal Prosecutor’s Office before the F.I.G.C. (Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio) notified Juventus and some of its current and former officers the Notice of conclusion of investigations relating the so-called “2019/2020 sport season’s salary manoeuvre”, the so-called “2020/2021 sport season’s salary manoeuvre”, the relationships between the Company and certain sport agents, as well as certain alleged “partnership” between Juventus and other clubs. The Federal Prosecutor’s Office, also by virtue of alleged accounting violations, has hypothesized the violation of article 4, paragraph 1, of Sport Justice Code.
By virtue of the reasons already explained, inter alia, in the Annual Financial Report at 30 June 2022 and in the Consolidated Half-Yearly Financial Report at 31 December 2022, the Company believes that it has correctly applied the relevant international accounting standards, as well as that it has operated in full compliance with sport loyalty’s principle. For further information, please refer to the aforementioned financial reports as well as the press releases issued by the Company on 2 December 2022 and 24 March 2023.
It is pointed out that the Notice transmitted does not constitute the exercise of disciplinary action by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office; the Company will now be able to access the documentation and articulate its defenses within the terms provided by the Sport Justice Code.
