The Juventus affair continues to shock Italy, and meanwhile in the land of the boot it is reported that the old lady may be in even more trouble. After being penalized with a 15-point deduction following suspicions that it paid salaries without paying tax, the group may now be penalized further following ‘hidden transactions’ carried out, which could result in a further 15-point deduction.
Following the initial reduction, Juventus slipped to tenth place in Italy, with 23 points to their credit. If another penalty is applied, the Old Lady will drop to 8 points and drop to last place in the table alongside Cremona.
According to the suspicions, Yuba did not report all of her salary payments, which will give rise to a trial in a civil court. As a result, the club’s executives are at risk of imprisonment, while in addition UEFA is examining the financial conduct between 2020-2022 and may punish it with suspension from the European factories.
At the same time, following the serious suspicions, there are 16 players who play or played for Juventus and are in danger of being suspended for one month by the Italian association. Among others, the list includes Paulo Dybala, Adrien Rabiot, Wojciech Szczesny, Leonardo Bonucci, Juan Cuadardo, Arthur, Federico Bernardeschi and Weston McKinney.
