Rome prosecutors on Wednesday
requested that former Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli and
several other ex-executives of the Turin giants, including Pavel
Nedved, Maurizio Arrivabene and Fabio Paratici, be sent to trial
for alleged financial felonies committed while they were in
charge of the club.

transfer dealings in the club's balance sheets and
irregularities in an agreement between the club and players for
salary cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Juve announced at the start of the pandemic that players had
agree to take a big pay cuts for four months to enable the club
to make ends meet during the health emergency.
The club, however, allegedly made secret payments to players,
who only gave up one month's salary.
In total there are about a dozen suspects,
The charges against them include stock manipulation, obstruction
of supervision and false accounting.
Juve were docked 10 Serie A points in the 2022-23 season over
the allegedly inflated values assigned to transfer moves.
