Serie A hit Juventus with points deducted for financial fraud
2023-02-17 16:22Serie A Juventus drew 1-1 with Ligue 1 Nantes in the UEFA Europa League today. As the financial fraud case has not yet come to an end, it is rumored that it may be involved in the team's European matches, but Juventus' chief football officer Francis Co Calvo says the club won't worry about being banned in Europe.
Club heavily fined for financial fraud
The Italian Football Association announced the results of Juventus ' financial investigation in January, and confirmed that the club had illegally profited by falsifying player salary payments and player transfer fees from 2019 to 2021.
Therefore, several high-level administrators of the club, including former sports director Fabio Bradridge and former chairman Andrea Agnelli, were punished and banned from participating in football activities for 8 months to 2 and a half years. At the same time, 15 Serie A points for Juventus this season were deducted. This incident caused a major blow to the club, senior management and players.
The investigation and punishment have not yet been concluded, Juventus said that they are not afraid of being banned in Europe
According to sources, Juventus has committed more than one financial fraud case, and the investigation is still ongoing, and the possibility that the club will be subject to other punishments in the future cannot be ruled out. There are also signs that UEFA 's second investigation may put the club in danger of being banned from participating in European competitions.
However, in this regard, Calvo, who was appointed as Juventus' chief football officer in mid-January, emphasized that although 15 points were deducted in Serie A, the club will not be afraid of the impact of being suspended in the European war. Then he also explained the reason, "We have been in touch with UEFA, we are not afraid, and the Italian game is not over yet."
Juventus, who were originally ranked in the top 3 in Serie A, are currently ranked 9th with 29 points after being deducted 15 Serie A points. The prospect of competing for the top 3 positions this season and qualifying for the Champions League next season is slim.
