Authorities launched new Juventus investigation

Another investigation has begun against Juventus, related to the club’s accounting in recent years, “La Repubblica” reports.

While the club is being investigated in the Prism case for falsifying accounting, evidence has been uncovered of the possible involvement of fictitious intermediaries in Juventus transfers. Thus, the Commission of Agents launched an investigation called Agentopoli.

It is about the club’s alleged practice of involving Italian agents in deals of the Old Lady without them having any role in them whatsoever. It is believed that in this way the Turin club wanted to repay the agents in question for old debts owed to them for previous deals.
