Juve risk Calciopoli fine
Thursday 24 April, 2008

Juventus risk a fine after 16 people were brought before trial in what has become known as Calciopoli II.

Before the 2006 World Cup it was revealed that former Bianconeri director general Luciano Moggi had supplied referees and club officials with telephone SIM cards.

Magistrate Stefano Palazzi is prosecuting the case on the grounds that article one of the Italian code for sporting justice was broken.

Juventus and Messina, as well as several referees, many of which are already suspended, have been called before Palazzi.

Article one determines codes of correctness and loyalty.

According to the Italian Press, Juventus only risk a fine, having already paid a heavy price for their involvement in the original scandal.

More delicate, however, is the case of Messina whose President Pietro Franza has been summoned for objective and direct responsibility.

“I have clarified everything,” rebutted Franza. “I am calm and remain at the disposition of sporting justice.”
