In the probe into the Turin club's balance sheets, alleged irregularities took place in which ex-chairman Andrea Agnelli and other former executives are implicated and which has led to Juve being deducted 15 points in this season’s Serie A.

They were docked the points by an Italian Football Federation (FIGC) tribunal for allegedly inflating earnings from transfer dealings in their balance sheets.

ANSA learned Wednesday that the FIGC prosecutor's office has notified Juventus of the closure of the investigation into the so-called 'salary, partnership and agent manoeuvre'.

Prosecutor Giancarlo Chinè charges the Bianconeri with violating the principle of fair play (article 4.1) for the three strands.

On today's three strands, Juve have two weeks to present their counter-arguments.

Juventus “believes it has correctly applied the relevant international accounting principles, as well as having operated in full respect of the principle of sporting loyalty,” said the club in a statement.

Juventus reaffirmed that it has acted correctly, “by virtue of the reasons already illustrated, inter alia, in the annual financial report as of 30 June ‘22 and in the six-monthly financial report as of 31 December ‘22”.
