Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi and his son Alessandro have had their sentences reduced on appeal in a case of illegal activity involving the now defunct player agency GEA.

The ANSA news agency reports that Luciano Moggi’s sentence was reduced from 18 to 12 months, while Alessandro Moggi’s sentence was reduced from 14 to five months.

Luciano Moggi, the central figure in the 2006 Italian match-fixing scandal, allegedly influenced player moves involving GEA, which was run by his son. Both deny wrongdoing.

Sentences below two years are suspended in Italy and neither Moggi has spent any time in prison.

Luciano Moggi was banned from football for five years by a sports court in 2006 for influencing the outcome of matches.
