National team coach Antonio Conte has applied for an abbreviated trial in the proceedings in which he is charged with sports fraud in the soccer betting affair. Ansa reports.
On the request of the coach’s lawyers, the Cremona gup Pierpaolo Beluzzi will decide on March 8: the petition was formalized by one of Conte’s lawyers, Leonardo Cammarata.
In previous hearings, Conte’s representatives had explained that the Ct wanted to “make haste to get out of this affair, proving his extraneousness.”
Hence the choice of the abbreviated rite, which avoids a longer time-consuming trial and takes place “in the state of the acts,” with the evidence, therefore, already in the file. Conte’s former deputy at Siena, Angelo Alessio, also made the same trial choice.
Conte after the European Championships will sit on the Chelsea bench, barring any surprises.
