The Tar agrees with Cherubini and Paratici: the “Covisoc card” must be delivered to the defense lawyers

The famous letter from the federal prosecutor to Covisoc with the “interpretative clarifications” on the capital gains affair must be delivered to the defense lawyers. The infinite judicial ups and downs of the Juve case produces another novelty. No sports justice, no criminal justice, it is administrative justice that enters the field with a ruling by the Lazio TAR which accepts the appeal presented by the Juventus manager Federico Cherubini and the former manager Fabio Paratici relating to the acquisition of the document dated 14 April 2021 It was a workhorse in the first capital gains trials (those that led to the acquittal), it still is in the middle of the process (the one set in motion by the papers of the Turin “prism” investigation) that led to the minus 15 soon to the attention of the Guarantee Board at CONI.

JUVE POINT

—

But why is it so important, or is the letter really important? For the Football Federation it was a “pre-provisional” and internal act, therefore there were no details for the acquisition by the lawyers, for the defense instead the start of the investigation and therefore the investigation by the federal prosecutor would have violated the procedural times. The TAR intervened to establish that it is a “at least implicit provisional content”. In short, a point for Juve, even if the value of this point remains to be established. Of course now Covisoc will have to deliver the famous document to the defense lawyers within seven days.

VERSIONS AGAINST

How much will it affect the hearing that the Guarantee Committee at CONI is preparing to set? It is clear that the Turin papers have definitely shifted the center of gravity of the investigations and “weakened” at least in substance the aspect of the timing of the sports investigation. Which, however, according to Juve and the sentenced executives, represents a sort of false start of the investigation capable of invalidating the entire procedural process. Meanwhile, another investigation by the federal prosecutor will close in the next few hours, the one on salary maneuvers and suspicious partnerships with the risk of other measures. A spring of high tension is announced.
