Nedved is sentenced to 14 months in prison

On September 22, local time in Italy, the judge approved a plea agreement between former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli and other former members of the club's board of directors in financial fraud cases.

Agnelli was sentenced to 20 months in prison with a suspended period and he may return to football after the sports ban expires next month.

Former Juventus vice chairman Nedved was sentenced to 14 months in prison, and former Juventus sports director Fabio Paratic was sentenced to 18 months in prison, but both of them were suspended, just like Agnelli.

Nedved played for Juventus from 2001 to 2009 and won the Golden Ball Award in 2003.

Paratic joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2021 as the club's general manager, but he left the Premier League club in 2023 after he was banned from football for two and a half years due to suspected financial violations during his tenure at Juventus. His appeal was rejected by the Italian Supreme Sports Court, but his suspension expired in July.

Former Juventus CEO Maurizio Arivabere was acquitted, and the trial in the case began in Turin and was later transferred to Rome.

Juventus Football Club, listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, was fined 156,000 euros, and also reached a settlement with about 75 investors, and the club will pay these investors a fine of just over 1 million euros.

Prosecutors began investigating in 2021 whether Juventus received illegal commissions from player transfers and loans, and whether investors were misled. In addition, the club is suspected of issuing non-existent transaction invoices to prove income, which may be considered false accounting.

The case led to the resignation of Agnelli and all directors of Juventus in 2022. Subsequently, Agnelli was sentenced to two bans by the sports authorities, the last of which will expire in October.

Juventus was fined 10 points in the 2022-23 season for financial violations, and was subsequently banned by UEFA from participating in the European competition that season.

This judgment marks the end of the case.
