(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Juventus thinks of “have always worked correctly” and ” intends to do assert one’s reasons and defend one’s interestscorporate, economic and sports, in all locations”. These are the conclusions of a note with which the sports club reiterates its belief that the Prosecutor’s disputes on its financial statements are groundless.
On the basis of “a solid set of opinions from leading legal and accounting professionals, the Juventus board has reached the unanimous conclusion” that “the accounting treatment adopted in the disputed financial statements is one of those allowed by the applicable accounting standards” and that “the objections of the Public Prosecutor’s Office do not appear to be founded and, moreover, neither as regards assumptions nor as regards conclusions, do not appear to be in line with the findings contained in the Consob resolution”.
In fact, claims Juventus, the Public Prosecutor’s Office affirms the artificiality of capital gains and the fictitiousness of salary waivers, while Consob disputes a considerably lower value of capital gains, moreover without mention of false accountingand does not dispute the legal effectiveness of the salary waivers, nor, with specific regard to the so-called “salary maneuver” 2020/2021, the legally non-binding nature of the so-called supplementary agreements under negotiation in April/May 2021.
As for sports justice, Juventus is confident that “le conclusions of the sports authorities (who have already expressed themselves, with regard to the issue of capital gains, in favor of Juventus) they won’t change“. In the absence of any accounting alteration, “any sporting sanction would be completely unfounded”, it is underlined.
