Why Juventus were acquitted in the capital gains trial -Juvefc.com


After months of investigations, the federal court has decided to acquit all the defendants of the so-called “Prisma” scandal.

The federal prosecutor’s office has launched a lengthy investigation against several Serie A clubs for alleged capital gains linked to inflated transfer fees.

Basically, investigators claimed that these clubs used inflated transfer fees to record capital gains illegally. As a result, 11 Italian clubs and 59 of their managers were sent to trial.

But according to Gazzetta dello Sportthe court acquitted them for lack of evidence.

While the investigators laid down their own parameters to define the values ​​of the players, the court dismissed it. After all, transfer fees are only determined by free market rules.

In the end, the prosecutors did not provide a document substantiating their charges without a doubt.

Juventus therefore emerges unscathed from the whole debacle, even if the prosecution can still appeal the final verdict.

The club faced an 800,000 euro fine, while chairman Andrea Agnelli and key executives could have been temporarily banned from football if found guilty.

Even though Juventus have probably recorded inflated values ​​on some transfer deals in the past, investigators shouldn’t have wasted everyone’s time in court in a case that lacked serious evidence.

Hopefully, however, the club take it as a warning for the future and avoid this type of suspicious trade.
