Juventus in hot water again after being accused of conniving with seven other clubs to commit fraud

Serie A club Juventus have been plunged into more trouble after being accused by Italian prosecutors of hiding capital gains worth millions of Euros with the aid of seven other clubs. 

Juventus on the mend after 15-point deduction

In recent weeks, Juventus have appeared to be on the road to recovery after being found guilty of capital gains fraud in the middle of the current season and losing 15 points as a result of a court judgment.

The Old Lady have won eight of their last 10 games in all competitions and find themselves with a real chance of making the UEFA Champions League places at the end of this season, despite the aforementioned hardships they have faced. 

Juventus could face further charges after being accused of colluding with seven clubs to commit fraud

Their happiness at being back in contention for Europe could be cut short, however, as prosecutors are reportedly set to mount a new offensive against the club with accusations of further capital gains fraud in collusion with seven other clubs. 

According to Corriere Torino, Juventus are accused of making secret deals with seven clubs that they did not record in their financials in a bid to hide Bianconeri’s debts to these clubs and inflate the true value of the club’s capital gains. 

The seven clubs named in the report include Serie A sides Udinese, Cagliari, Bologna, Atalanta, Sassuolo, Sampdoria, and Swiss side Sion, who are all accused of helping Juventus hide up to €32.8 million of debt between them. 

It is unclear what Juventus’ punishment will be if found guilty, but retribution could be as stiff as the initial 15-point deduction suffered earlier this season, if not worse.
