Juventus have almost exhausted the ways to try combating the point deduction about the capital gains trial. The second one, for different charges, is about to start. The club is waiting for the motivations of the new ruling. Then it will decide how to proceed, TuttoSport informs.
The Federal Court has 30 days to file its document, but it should happen sooner. The club could technically appeal again to the College of Guarantee, but the legal grounds are dubious. The secondary execs, whose conviction had led to the request to reformulate the punishment, were acquitted. Further reductions are unlikely. On the other hand, the lawyers could ask for a temporary suspension of the sanction, which would eventually carry over to the next season.
Juventus are set to stand trial for different charges, mainly related to the delayed payment of wages during the pandemic campaigns, on June 15th. What happens with the first tranche will be influential. If the Bianconeri decide to desist, they’d have better chances of getting a plea bargain, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Instead, there would be little room to maneuver if they kept on fighting on the plusvalenze case. The Italian FA also has an interest in settling the dispute in a reasonable amount of time to finalize the list of participants in the European cups. An agreement would have to be rubber-stamped by ulterior bodies on top of the prosecutor and the defendants.
At some point, Juventus could decide to nip the matter in the bud and accept a year without cups, provided it doesn’t affect the next campaign. But it hasn’t happened yet, the outlet informs.
