The investigation into Juve's capital gains would also involve Cagliari. Yes, now it's the turn of the other teams. Judicial proceedings in other Italian cities flourish from the investigation into Juventus' accounts. The Turin prosecutors sent a series of papers to colleagues from six other prosecutors. In the viewfinder there would be Atalanta, Sampdoria, Sassuolo, Udinese, Cagliari and Bologna. The Turin magistrates have forwarded other papers to their colleagues so that they can verify the behavior of other clubs in the matter of capital gains and the sale of players.
The initiative is dictated by reasons of territorial jurisdiction.
The Cagliari public prosecutor's office was involved due to the alleged capital gain of 10 million on Cerri.
For some time, the investigations by the subalpine magistrates and the financial police had led to the conclusion that Juventus had established "collaboration and partnership" relationships (the terms are used in the procedural papers) with a number of other clubs. Conducts grafted onto "personal and sometimes personal relationships between managers and sports executives".
Stuff that - was the prosecutor's thesis - could even "endanger the loyalty of the competitions". Sports justice, in the matter of capital gains, substantially 'exonerated' the championships last January 23, when the Federal Court of Appeal inflicted fifteen penalty points on Juventus alone and acquitted eight other companies that ended up on trial. The reason was that only for the black and white club had been found - the judges wrote - clear traces of the will to fix the budgets. But against that decision the legal team of the Old Lady will present an appeal to the Coni guarantee college. It is not obvious that the move by the Turin prosecutor will reopen the game. What is clear is that the investigators believe they have collected material worthy of being reported to other prosecutors for investigations of a criminal nature. According to the Turin prosecutors - as can be deduced from the documents assembled last year - the partnership relationships mainly concerned Sampdoria, Atalanta, Sassuolo, Empoli, Udinese; among the cards also appeared Grosseto, Parma, Pisa, Monza, Cosenza, Pescara "to name a few".
It is not said, however, that these are the teams that will be affected by the next checks. In the meantime, the Turin prosecutors are focused on the preliminary hearing, which will open on 27 March. In the past few days, a number of people informed of the facts have heard. Starting with the former Juventus player Rolando Mandragora, who was sold to Udinese in 2018 with a clause that provided for his buyback , which then took place in 2020, and by the vice president of the Friulian club, Stefano Campoccia.
Another front is that of relations with Atalanta: clues are being sought on sums not budgeted linked to the sale of players. If the elements emerge, the prosecutors will extend the charges at the preliminary hearing against Juventus.
