Calciopoli, sensational turning point for Giraudo: the European Court of Human Rights accepts the appeal, here’s what can happen | First page

Antonio Giraudo does not give up and, on the contrary, takes home a partial victory in his personal battle on the Calciopoli trial. As it relates The Corriere della Sera, the former CEO of Juventus – right arm of Luciano Moggi – will have the opportunity to defend himself before the European Court of Human Rights, which found the appeal admissible presented by lawyers Amedeo Rosboch and Jean-Louis Dupont, lawyer of the historic “Bosman ruling”.

CONFIDENCE GROWS – The defense of Giraudo was built on two cornerstones: there was a gross violation of the rights of the defense – about the only 7 days allowed to read the more than 7,000 pages of documents produced during the sporting process – and there are strong doubts about the reasonable length of the trial, which went on for 13 years, according to what Rosboch and Dupont reiterate. To instill confidence in Giraudo it is also the fact that, historically, 90% of the appeals presented were rejected. After the annulment, in a criminal case, of the sentence of one year and 8 months decreed by the Supreme Court for prescription, Giraudo and his lawyers begin to hope for a sensational rebound on the sporting level. The process will take a few months and now requires the Italian State to produce documents in support of its thesis and only afterwards will the discussion of the case begin.
