Itanian club Juventus President Andrea Agnelli, Vice-President Pavel Nedved and former sporting director Fabio Paratici, now at Tottenham Hotspur, are under investigation for false accounting and movement of €50m in the capital gains case, Italian media report

The Guardia di Finanza arrived at Continassa on Friday to gather information and collect all the necessary documents, as Juventus are under investigation in relation to the seasons between 2018 and 2021.

A dossier was opened by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office after CONSOB and COVISOC investigations into the capital gains cases in Serie A.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that six people at Juventus are under investigation for false accounting, including President Andrea Agnelli.

The Turin Public Prosecutor opened a case after CONSOB had launched an inspection last July and after the COVISOC report which had triggered the Federal Prosecutor to investigate.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports COVISOC saw it necessary to investigate some cases related to capital gains operations, in particular the one relating to Miralem Pjanic and Arthur Melo exchanging clubs in 2020.

Now, Juventus are also under criminal investigation, reportedly involving movements of approximately €50m.

In addition to Agnelli, the newspaper reports Vice-President Pavel Nedved and former sporting director Fabio Paratici, currently at Tottenham Hotspur, are other suspects.
