 | They abolished the penalty of the Juvenal president, but the club passed a double heavier fine19-12-2017 |
Juventus president Andrea Anjeli`s penalty not to play football for 1 year was canceled, but he and the club would have to pay a very serious fine because of his ties to organized crime, the Italian Football Federation said today. The punishment was imposed for the sale of ticket tickets personally by Anjeli to ultra-fans who are related to the mafia. He was caught in a meeting with Roco Dominello, ultras, part of the Calabrian nongranget, who was later sentenced to eight years in jail for scalping his victim. Annieli has sold seasonal and other types of tickets to champions` matches. The initial punishment for Anieli was 15 months` deprivation of the right to exercise any activity, subsequently reduced to 12 months and a fine of 20, 000 euros. But federal prosecutor Giuseppe Pecorro appealed against this decision, demanding the suspension of Anjeli`s rights for two and a half years, and since September the punishment - whatever the length of time - was running.
Today, the ruling states that the ban falls with today, but the fine jumps to 100, 000 euros. Anelie, who heads the 2010 club, said he had only meetings with loyal fans and has not met with people from the criminal world. If he had been involved in such conversations, it was involuntary and he did not know the people in question. Juventus security director Alessandro D `, Angelo and ticket sales director Stefano Merulla are saved from penalties after their convictions have been canceled today. On D `, Angelo was initially banned for 15 months, while Merulla was for 1 year. The complaint of former marketing director Francesco Calvo, however, was rejected and he will have to rest for a year and pay a fine of 20, 000 euros.
