The closure of the sporting trials against the black and whites does not mean the end of the judicial turmoil: investigations are also being carried out in Bologna, Cagliari, Genoa, Modena and Udine
Maybe it's time to clarify for a moment: the closure of the investigation into salaries and, consequently, of the sporting trials against Juventus does not at all sanction the end of the judicial turmoil that is agitating Italian football. At the state of the art, in fact, there are other teams being investigated by the Public Prosecutors of half of Italy, almost all triggered by the folders produced by the Turin prosecutors who dealt with the Prisma investigation. This is the case of the judges of Bologna, Bergamo, Cagliari, Genoa, Modena and Udine. A separate chapter concerns the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome which seems a little more "ahead" than the others, so much so that it is true that it has ordered searches in the headquarters of the Giallorossi club and has sent guarantee notices to some managers (the president and the vice-president Dan and Ryan Friedkin, former owner James Pallotta and seven executives and former executives: CEO Pietro Berardi, former CEOs Umberto Gandini and Guido Fienga, former executive vice president and former executive director Mauro Baldissoni, former of the finance, administration and control area of the club Francesco Malknecht and the former Financial controller Giorgio Francia).
Prosecutor 'active' also in Tivoli
And another active Public Prosecutor's Office is the Tivoli one, competent because the headquarters of Lazio are located there . Autonomous dynamics, his, to put under investigation the operations carried out with Salernitana when the Campania club was still owned by Claudio Lotito. A curiosity that would be interesting to explore in the future: the Public Prosecutors of Rome and Tivoli have scrutinized the financial statements of the last 5 years as is the established practice in the investigation of tax crimes, that of Turin against Juventus "only" three. And then there is the chapter concerning Napoliand which is intertwined with French justice. The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Campania capital has requested a supplement of six months (the first searches in Castel Voluturno date back to June 2022...) for investigations into the purchase of Osimhen from Lille and, above all, for the inclusion in the deal of four technical counterparts (Karnezis, Liguori, Manzi and Palmieri): players who never went to France and, indeed, ended up in minor leagues or even disappeared from football. In any case, something is moving there too, certainly not in anxiety-provoking times: on 12 April, the Public Prosecutor's Office in fact ordered a search, carried out by agents of the Guardia di Finanza, in Torre del Greco at the headquarters of Turris (Serie C) to acquire the Claudio Manzi, defender now at Entella, one of the four who entered the deal.
