Malagò: “The Juve case has shown that sports justice works”

“The Juventus affair, as it ended, is certainly the demonstration that sports justice worked in the face of collaboration with ordinary justice”. Giovanni Malagò refers to today’s confrontation in the Coni Council and the various positions that converge on this issue: there is a problem of speed, which is not easy to resolve, not the credibility of sports justice. “A document is already ready – explains the president of Coni in the press conference at the end of the meeting – but it is clear that any new development would be projected towards the next competitive season. There is a problem of dead times, which are not dead because they serve as guarantees for those who have to appeal against a sentence and those who have to study the appeals”. In short, no regulatory revolutions are on the horizon and sports justice, beyond the demands on the government front in recent weeks (see the opinions of Abodi and Giorgetti), remains reliable.

MANDATES

—

In the junta, which appointed the judoka Odette Giuffrida and the archer Mauro Nespoli as standard-bearers for the next European Games in Krakow (starting on 21 June), there was also talk of the mandate law and the possibility of removing the cap currently set for freeing up the re-nomination of presidents who are currently ineligible. “It is a problem that affects a large number of people because the territorial areas must be considered and therefore we arrive at 350 people. The position of Coni is that it is right to revise that law. Now we await the government’s indications on the conditions for a reopening, the prescriptions, the stakes, within which re-nomination would be allowed. Then there is also a risk of an appeal given that the matter is under the attention of the Constitutional Court. It could be that the appeal is not accepted or, on the contrary, that it is accepted and certainly it would not be a beautiful figure”. But is it right that federal presidents have the freedom to run again and that Coni remain bound to three mandates? “I will never talk about what concerns myself – replies Malagò – I have never done it and I will continue not to do it”.
