A new search of Juventus's offices
regarded the club's relationship with their former player,
Portugal and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, sources
said on Friday.
The Turin giants and several top officials, including Chairman
Andrea Agnelli and Vice-Chairman Pavel Nedved, are under
investigation in a criminal probe into player trades done
between 2019 and this year.
The investigators staged the new search after questioning
several club managers, summoned as witnesses, in recent days,
the sources said.
Juventus has said it is confident it respected the law in
relation to the transfers and added that it is cooperating with
investigators.
The club is accused of giving false financial communications and
issuing invoices for non-existent transactions.
Italian stock-market watchdog CONSOB is also looking into the
revenue it posted from player trades amid reports that the
values generated were inflated to make the club's balance sheets
look better.
