The recent salary maneuver scandal involving Juventus has caught the attention of federal prosecutors, who are now seeking the maximum penalty for the Italian football club TuttoSport reports. The question on everyone’s mind is whether that penalty will entail relegation to Serie B.
The scandal centers around allegations that Juventus used a shell company to evade taxes on player salaries. Federal prosecutors have launched an investigation and have reportedly found evidence of wrongdoing. The maximum penalty for tax evasion in Italy is a fine of up to five times the amount of taxes evaded, as well as possible prison sentences for those involved.
In addition to the financial penalties, there is also the possibility of Juventus being relegated to Serie B. Relegation is a common punishment for teams found guilty of financial misconduct, and it would have a major impact on the club’s future success and finances.
Juventus, one of the most successful and popular teams in Italy, would likely suffer significant financial losses if relegated to Serie B. The team would also lose its star players, who would likely transfer to other clubs in order to continue playing at the highest level.

The outcome of the investigation and the decision on any penalties will likely be closely watched by fans, experts and the world of soccer. It will also provide a clear indication of the Italian government’s resolve to combat tax evasion in sports, and across all industries.
The federal prosecutors have not yet announced the final decision or the amount of penalties for Juventus, but whatever the outcome, it will have a significant impact on the club and Italian soccer as a whole.
