Today marks a significant day as the preliminary hearing of the Prisma Inquiry, a crucial center for investigating Juventus’ accounts, begins before Gup Marco Picco at the Court of Turin. The hearing will determine the indictment of 12 managers and directors of the Juventus club, including the former president Andrea Agnelli, deputy Pavel Nedved, managing director Maurizio Arrivabene, and Fabio Paratici. Supporting the accusations are prosecutors Mario Bendoni and Marco Gianoglio, who conducted the investigation into Juve’s accounts.
Aside from the indictments, the defense of the suspects has raised a question concerning territorial jurisdiction that the Gup will have to decide on. The trial’s location is under dispute, and the defense has proposed whether it should remain in Turin, move to Milan, or alternatively to Rome. The decision on territorial jurisdiction is critical and could have significant implications for the trial’s progress. If the decision is referred to the Supreme Court, it could considerably lengthen the investigation.
