Former Juventus president, Andrea Agnelli, has filed an appeal with the TAR (Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale) against the decision of the Coni Sports Guarantee Board. Agnelli was sanctioned with a two-year disqualification for his involvement in the capital gains affair. The deadline for appealing to the administrative justice expired today, prompting Agnelli’s team of lawyers, led by Vittorio Angiolini, to take this course of action.
However, this appeal does not mean that discussions with the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) prosecutor, Giuseppe Chiné, will come to a halt. The negotiations will continue in an attempt to reach a plea bargain for the other branch of the sports justice investigation, specifically regarding the salary maneuver. The club has already reached a plea bargain, resulting in a fine of 718 thousand euros. As part of the agreement, the club has committed to renouncing any recourse to ordinary justice. If an agreement with the sports prosecutor is to be reached, it is essential that Agnelli also withdraws the appeal to the TAR. The deadline for this decision is June 27, when the first hearing will take place.
In regards to the capital gains affair, Maurizio Arrivabene, who was not involved in the salary maneuvers, will be representing Juventus in the appeal to the TAR.
The outcome of these legal proceedings will have significant implications for Agnelli and Juventus. The appeal to the TAR and the negotiations with the FIGC prosecutor will determine the future course of action and potential consequences for all parties involved.

However, it is important to note that this appeal does not bring an end to the discussions between Agnelli’s camp and the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) prosecutor, Giuseppe Chiné. Negotiations will continue as efforts are made to reach a plea bargain in another aspect of the sports justice investigation, specifically related to the salary maneuver. Juventus has already reached a plea bargain in this regard, resulting in a fine of 718 thousand euros. As part of this agreement, the club has committed to forgo any recourse to ordinary justice. To successfully conclude negotiations with the sports prosecutor, it is crucial for Agnelli to withdraw his appeal to the TAR by June 27, which is when the first hearing is scheduled to take place.
