Following the seismic news earlier this week regarding the implosion of Juventus, in which their entire boardroom resigned following investigations over their transfer dealings, Managing Director of Football at Tottenham Hotspur Fabio Paratici appears to be in hot water of sorts as part of these investigations.
This evening, several Italian outlets have reported that Paratici, formerly of Juventus of course, along with former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, is the subject of arrest warrants being drawn up by Italian authorities.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport (In Italian) reports that the charges Paratici faces include ‘information rigging’, ‘false corporate communications’ and ‘false invoicing’ during his time at Juventus
Football Italia has also reported that the charges levelled against Paratici include the provision of “false statements, “obstruction of financial authorities” and the conjuring of “false paperwork” during his time at Juventus, while stating that several other Italian outlets are reporting similar misdemeanours on the Spurs man’s part.
Some of you may very well remember that this time last year, Paratici was acquitted of similar charges by the Italian authorities following raised eyebrows towards the deal that saw Juve sign Cristian Romero, and although Juventus’ offices were raided by the Carribinieri as part of the investigation, nothing came of the whole debacle…at the time, at least.
However, given the gravity of the whole situation with Juventus, it remains to be seen how this latest turn of events will transpire, and what the implications will be for Tottenham Hotspur.
It surely would be “inconvenient” for THFC if Paritici were indicted. that surely would put a freeze on much of what he”s up to in London. But no one should be surprised at corruption in the world of football associations. The FA, together with other major associations should leave FIFA, which seems beyond redemption. The Qatar WC has been dodgy from the beginning, and now we might find Saudi Arabia making a serious bid? Enough!
Is VS still functioning or is it only posting threads for ghosts?
Ridiculous TK, there has been around a dozen articles in 2 days.
Yes, TQ. a dozen artivles in two days and almost no comments on them. So I ask, are the articles being posted only for ghosts?
Anyway, you and I make two. That’s a small audience for 12 articles.
