The Turin Prosecutor’s Office (Italy) questioned the Argentine player on Wednesday paulo dybala in relation to the investigation carried out by the Italian financial police on a possible falsehood in the Juventus accounts in the 2020 financial year.
In March 2020, the black and white entity reached an agreement with the players by which they waived four months of their salary, so the club’s budget was not so damaged in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic.
However, according to Italian media reports this Thursday, the agreement would not be a salary waiver, but a postponement of the payment of three of the four months, an action that would have meant savings for Juventus by not having included it in its economic balance the deferred salary as a debt and having paid the amounts to the players through private agreements.
Dybalaaccording to local media reports, has spent three hours answering questions from prosecutors on this issue, for which the team president is being investigated, Andrea Angelliand the vice president, the Czech pavel nedvedamong other directors of the entity.
The Argentine, who will leave at the end of the season, went to the Turin Palace of Justice after last Wednesday the financial police searched law firms in Rome, Milan and Turin in search of documents to clarify the matter.
In the coming weeks, more players from the ‘Vecchia Singora’ are expected to testify before the prosecutors who are carrying out an investigation that began at the end of last year for irregularities in the sale of players by Juventus -and other Italian teams-, although the ‘Jewel’ only talked about what is related to the deferral of wages in 2020.
