Juventus claim court decision proved they were not involved in Calciopoli scandal
Nov 8, 2011 9:25:00 PM
The Italian giants are unhappy that their appeal for damages has been turned down as they were allegedly deemed not-guilty of the events related to the football scandal
Juventus claim that the Tribunal of Naples has ruled they had no connection with the events related to the Calciopoli scandal.The Serie A side's former general director Luciano Moggi has been condemned to over five years in prison after being found guilty of sporting fraud.
After being stripped of two Serie A titles as a result of the Calciopoli events, Juventus filed a request for damages, which was refused by the court on Tuesday.
"Today's decision stated Juventus' non involvement with the matters charged," a club statement read. "The Club was taken to the court of Naples as civilly liable entity by way of objective liability according to Art. 2049 Italian Civil Code.
"The decision emerged from the result of a thorough hearing and from the analysis of all evidence, clashed with the reality of an inaccurate sports law which severely penalized Juventus, the sole club damaged due to the removal of two titles - following the victories achieved on the pitch - with consequent relegation and related extensive losses.
"Juventus will continue their legitimate campaigns in order to restore the equality of treatment."
