Four clubs could also be in trouble because of Juventus

Juventus’ partners are set to get some punishment for collaborating with the Bianconeri to help them gain from capital gains.

 

Juve has just been punished with a 15-point deduction and it seemed they had been unfairly targeted because the clubs who did business with them haven’t been punished.

 

However, that is being worked on and a report on Il Bianconero reveals the likes of Empoli, Udinese, Atalanta and Sassuolo are now being probed and could also be penalised for doing business with the black and whites. ........

 

It takes two to tango when it comes to capital gains and it was a surprise that only the Bianconeri were punished. .........

 

 

But that should not stop the club’s plans to petition it and we expect the outcome to be positive since they insist they have done nothing wrong.

 

These off-field problems must not distract our players, who have a duty to ensure they keep winning so we can end this season very well.

Inter confirmed as 2005-06 Serie A Champions following rejected Juventus appeal

 

 

Inter  have been reconfirmed as the official winners of the 2005-06 Serie A title following the rejection of an appeal from Juventus brought against the FIGC, CONI and the Nerazzurri. 

 

Juventus finished the 2005-06 season with a table-topping 91 points, but were disqualified and subsequently relegated to Serie B for their involvement in the Farsopoli scandal. 

 

As the team in second place at the time, Inter were elected as de-facto champions of the league, despite their 76-point finish. 

The decision was the responsibility of the then-commissioner of the Italian FA, Guido Rossi, although Juventus have since been attempting to appeal that ruling. 

 

However, according to ANSA, Juventus’ appeal against the FIGC, CONI and Inter has been rejected, meaning that the Nerazzurri will hold onto their 2005-06 title. ......

Judicial victory for Juventus as Prisma trial moves to Rome

 

 

Juventus have registered a significant win in court as they succeed in moving the Prisma trial from Turin to Rome.

 

As we all know, the club has been indulged in legal troubles over the last couple of years.

 

The Prisma inquiry is based on alleged false accounting related to salary maneuvers conducted by the club during the Covid-19 period. ......

 

The Roman court had a more lenient approach to the matter. Following an investigation on Victor Osimhen’s transfer from Lille to Napoli, the trial found no infringements.

 

The source expects the procedures to take some time before culminating in a preliminary hearing, but in the meantime, Juventus will be satisfied with their initial victory.

What is the worst case scenario for Fagioli in the betting investigation?

 

 

Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli finds himself under investigation for alleged betting offences, specifically for using an unlicensed platform to place a bet. While this discovery is likely to be disappointing for him, it appears that Fagioli has been cooperating with authorities, and the investigation is approaching its conclusion. ............

 

 

Nonetheless, the severity of Fagioli’s punishment may be less harsh than what some media outlets have reported. Betting itself is not illegal in Italy, but using an unlicensed platform for such activities is considered a crime. In cases of this nature, a fine is more likely than a lengthy ban as a form of punishment. .........

Journalist explains why Fagioli should not be punished for betting offence

 

 

Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli is facing the risk of a ban after confessing to betting using an illegal platform. Italy has strict regulations against illegal betting, and as a result, he could face disciplinary action.

 

Fagioli, just 22 years old, is still considered a young player, and his willingness to report himself for this misconduct is commendable. While some pundits have speculated that he will likely serve a ban, journalist Marco Baldini argues that this might not be the right approach for a young athlete. ...........

 

“Such a young boy can fall into a venial sin, mistakes like that can happen at that age, due to inexperience or wrong friendships, but he didn’t fix matches, I wouldn’t crucify him. 

 

“Now we have to wait for the investigations but I hope that it is always kept in mind that Fagioli is 20 years old, my point of view is that he shouldn’t be disqualified for something like this and if it’s about an addiction, it’s better if the thing has come out now , so we can intervene.” .............

What can Juventus lose in the Fagioli betting scandal?

 

 

Nicolo Fagioli is currently making headlines for the wrong reasons due to his alleged involvement in betting with an illegal platform. However, this situation might not necessarily lead to repercussions for Juventus.

 

Typically, when a player becomes embroiled in a scandal, their club also faces scrutiny, and fans may wonder if Juventus will be penalised for Fagioli’s betting activities. The issue is primarily the player’s responsibility, and any consequences will be borne by him alone. ...........

Tonali and Zaniolo involved in betting scandal amid Fagioli discover

 

 

 

The reports about Fagioli first broke in mainstream media yesterday and the Juventus man has admitted to betting on football games but not his own. If found guilty by the FIGC Prosecutor, he could get a ban of up to three years.

Paolo De Paola says Fagioli’s betting addiction shows Juventus is declining

 

 

Journalist Paolo De Paola seems to be assigning some responsibility to Juventus for Nicolo Fagioli’s recently revealed gambling issues. Fagioli reportedly voluntarily approached authorities upon realising that he may have engaged in gambling activities through an illegal channel. ...........

 

De Paola’s perspective appears to suggest that Juventus is facing challenges both on and off the pitch, which may have contributed to the club only becoming aware of Fagioli’s problem after it had escalated to the point of involving authorities. ...........

 

“I would like to hear his opinion, at least on these rumours that speak of gambling addiction. In any case, this story once again demonstrates a decline of Juventus, because it is not admissible that certain rumours come out of a gossip channel without the club having first carried out an in-depth investigation is yet another proof of how there are no close relationships between management and the team.” ...........

Fagioli admits to betting on football matches as his addiction to gambling is laid bare

 

 

Further details are emerging after Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli reported himself to Italian authorities for betting through illegal means. Fagioli is cooperating with authorities and hopes for a lenient or no punishment, but the extent of his gambling activities has come to light.

 

Fagioli has admitted to betting on football but did not place bets on matches involving his own teams, which include Juventus Next Gen, Cremonese, and Juventus since he made his professional debut.

 

The report also suggests that Fagioli may have a gambling addiction and has already wagered up to 1 million euros. This revelation highlights the seriousness of the situation, and it’s imperative for Fagioli to seek help to overcome this addiction and address the underlying issues that may have led to it. ........

If Fagioli, Tonali and Zaniolo are banned it would apply worldwide

 

 

Nicolo Fagioli is currently facing a troublesome situation, as he is suspected of violating betting rules, a transgression that carries potential penalties. Notably, he is not alone in this predicament, as Nicolo Zaniolo and Sandro Tonali have also been named as players who have engaged in illegal betting. ..........

 

One key question among fans is whether the ban, when imposed, will have a global reach, affecting these players regardless of where they currently play. The ban will apply worldwide. Therefore, Sandro Tonali, who now plays for Newcastle United, and Nicolo Zaniolo, who plays for Aston Villa, will also serve their bans at their respective current clubs. ...........

Lawyer explains the punishment Fagioli could get if found guilty

 

 

Juventus is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the potential punishment for Nicolo Fagioli, who has been embroiled in the betting scandal currently affecting Italian football. Fagioli has confessed to betting on illegal platforms, albeit without placing any wagers on his own team.

 

The revelation has taken Juventus by surprise, and the club is now bracing for the worst-case scenario, which could involve a ban on the midfielder for several months. ..............

 

 Lawyer Pietro Alosi was asked what the players and their clubs can expect and he said:

“We must distinguish the position from a sporting point of view and from a criminal one. The penal principle, article 720 of the penal code, prohibits betting on illegal platforms and for this crime there is a prison sentence of up to six months and a fine of 516 euros, which can increase based on the amounts bet. But with a series of justifications the sentence can also be reduced.” ............

Juventus denies not doing anything about Fagioli’s betting problems

 

 

Juventus has officially refuted suggestions that they were aware of Nicolo Fagioli’s betting issues and chose not to take any action. Fagioli has recently come under scrutiny for violating betting regulations, along with several other Italian players. This situation has led to Nicolo Zaniolo and Sandro Tonali being temporarily omitted from the Italian national team squad.

 

Initial reports in the media indicated that Juventus had no involvement in the case and that Fagioli acted independently. ...........

Fagioli admits to knowing what he stands to lose from illegal betting if caught

Fagioli is currently under investigation, along with several other Italian players, in connection with illegal betting. .............

Fagioli’s father blame agents for his son’s betting problems

 

 

Nicolo Fagioli’s father has voiced his concern and laid blame on football agents for not adequately looking after their young clients, as his son’s betting addiction has become public knowledge.

 

Fagioli’s case is just one of many involving young Italian footballers who are reportedly struggling with gambling addiction, and more names may be revealed in the coming days.

 

Football players are typically cautioned about the risks associated with gambling while they are at club academies worldwide. Engaging in gambling is discouraged as a detrimental habit, and participating in illegal betting is against the law. Fagioli himself acknowledged that he was aware of the rule before engaging in the act, and his father has expressed disappointment in football agents for not offering better guidance and support to young players in such situations. ..............

Fagioli could secure plea bargain in betting case by the end of next week

 

 

Unfortunately, Juventus have been rocked by another untimely scandal as Nicolo Fagioli is allegedly indulged in an illegal betting case.

However, Fagioli didn’t bet on any Juventus matches as the report tells it. The midfielder has also admitted guilt and is negotiating a plea agreement with the public prosecutor before getting referred to trial.

Unfortunately for Nicolo Fagioli, a gambling addiction will put his Juventus career on ice for a considerable amount of time.
