Claudio Marchisio left a statement defending the corruption of his former team, Juventus.
The Italian Football Association (FIGC) said on the 21st (Korean time), “The Federal Court of Appeals in connection with the investigation of the financial gains partially accepted the appeal of the prosecutor’s office. A suspension of activities has been issued for this.”
Juventus has raised possible financial violations in an accounting investigation that began in 2021. In the process of transferring players, allegations of making a large amount of capital gains by inflating the transfer fee and manipulating the accounting books and entering false facts arose. Juventus, which was confirmed to have committed corruption, was severely punished with a 15-point deduction according to the Italian court’s ruling.
Juventus fell to 10th place with 22 points from a situation where they were running in 3rd place with 37 points. The gap between them and the fourth place is a whopping 12 points. Even if there is still half of the season left, it is currently difficult to advance to the European Champions League (UCL) next season.
What makes this situation even more controversial is that Juventus have committed cowardly crimes in the past. In 2006, Juventus attempted match fixing by buying a referee in Serie A, Italy. At the time, it was revealed that Juventus general manager Luciano Mogi was involved in referee assignments and judgments, and eventually Juventus was relegated to Serie B with the qualification to win the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons selected. 헤라카지노
Serie A entered a period of decline due to the unprecedented match-fixing scandal. Even in the early 2000s, Serie A was the best league in the world, but it entered a dark period from the mid-2000s. Due to a crime about 17 years ago, Juventus is always labeled match-fixing, and they have committed corruption again. There is no public opinion sympathizing with Juventus.
However, Marchisio, a Juventus legend, posted controversial content on his personal SNS, saying, “I want to say that from this evening, even if all clubs do the same, only Juventus is subject to sanctions.” Of course, the reaction from the fans was not good.
