Capital gains case, English blizzard on Fabio Paratici

Two-and-a-half-year disqualification to former Juventus man could have devastating effect on Spurs’ market

In addition to imposing 15 penalty points, to be served in the current championship, on Juventus, the Federal Court of Appeal also sanctioned the Bianconeri executives held responsible for the alleged irregularities. In fact, a 2 1/2-year disqualification was imposed on Paratici, 2 years on Agnelli and Arrivabene, 1 year and 4 months on Cherubini, and 8 months on Nedved, Garimberti, Vellano, Venier, Hughes, Marilungo, and Roncaglio.

For the executives affected by the disqualification, UEFA and FIFA extension of the punishment was also requested, resulting, in the case of current Tottenham General Manager Fabio Paratici, in his inability to function in the exercise of his role at the English club.

British fans did not fail to make their voices heard as early as very late yesterday evening, clamoring, via social media, for the immediate resignation of Beppe Marotta’s former dauphin. The fear is that they will not be able to operate freely in the market for too long. And precisely at a time when, considering Spurs’ difficulties in retaining their place in the very small circle of English soccer’s elite, there would be more need to strengthen the team with a few million-dollar deals.
