It’s never dull with Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United. Occasinaly, other ‘big guns’ like Chelsa (under the new owner) or Bayern Munich (Gucci Gnabri, Manuel Neuer) pope in, but these three clubs have had major storylines in the last two-three year and for all the wrong reasons. Juventus is now in the worst kind of problems due to their financial frauds, and are facing with another 20 points deducition, which would put them straing into the relegation fight. And the topic just cannot go away anytime soon, as it was revealed that the prosecutor who deals with the case – openly hates Juventus.Juve in relegation zone! Turin club could be fined with a 20 points deductionCiro Santoriello is Turin’s Public Prosecutor who is in charge of the ‘Old Lady’ case (the ‘Prisma’ investigation) and his name has been in the press these days due to an old video in which he openly claims that he ‘hates Juventus’ and supports Napoli. It was way back in 2019, but it was a good proof for Juventus supporters that these accusations against their club were false and that the trial will be a mockery. They even started the ‘#SantorielloOut’ hashtag on Twitter. One of the members of Elkan family (which owns Juventus), commented on Twitter: #Santoriello è certamente un ottimo pubblico ministero, però che si dica anti-juventino nell’esercizio delle sue funzioni di pm lascia francamente attoniti. Per la leggerezza e l’inopportunità pic.twitter.com/EzI3OKaccG— Giovanni Capuano (@capuanogio) February 6, 2023 ‘We have gone through storms before and many more difficulties, but we will return stronger than ever. Above all we need each one of you fans more than ever. Forza Juventus always and to the end. I find it curious that this prosecutor says things like this, it is not justice, it is defamation towards a team that has achieved so much. Unfortunately, justice is not equal for ALL, but it should be’ wrote Lapo Elkann, the brother of chief John Elkann and cousin of former Juventus President Andrea Agnelli.Altro convegno, altra occasione per #Santoriello di denigrare la tanto odiata Juve: “Assolutamente irrealizzabile al pari della Juventus che vinca la Coppa dei Campioni”La battuta, il ridere, la simpatia, l’umorismo, la comicità, il contesto, l’ilarità, la burla(Tnx @tramaun ) pic.twitter.com/XPlhXQSzL8— Michele Fusco (@mike_fusco) February 8, 2023 In the meantime, another video was found in which Santoriello can be seen joking: “Absolutely unfeasible on par with Juventus winning the Champions League”. And now, the latest media reports from Turin suggest that the prosecutor will not appear before the Preliminary Hearing Judge on March 27, in order to avoid any embarrassment for the prosecution.Juve’s chaos continues: Five will leave, it is better to pay a penalty than a buyout for ParedesIn the middle of social media criticism of prosecutor Santoriello, a support came from an unlikely place – ex Juventus attorney. Luigi Chiappero, the defence lawyer for ex-Juventus directors Marco Re e Stefano Bertola in the ‘Prisma’ investigation, believes in prosecutor’s impartial behavior.“Santoriello is an educated magistrate, who has never confused football with legal rights. I would remember that he dismissed another case involving Juventus in the past“ said Chiappero for La Stampa. The lawyer was referring to another court proceeding a couple years ago, when contrary to accusations in 2022, Santoriello didn’t charge Juventus executives for any wrongdoings.##NAJAVA_MECA_7007013##
