Prosecutor Santoriello and the time he filed an anti-Juve investigation

In 2016, the magistrate filed all the charges in an open proceeding on the accounts of the Juventus club

The story between Ciro Santoriello and Juve has its roots in over seven years ago, when in 2016 the magistrate, a great expert on economic crimes, filed an investigation into the black and whites. And this despite the “hatred” he professed towards Juve, in a video dating back to 2019 in which the now well-known joke of the magistrate is extrapolated (“I am a huge fan of Napoli and I hate Juventus. As a fan, for me it is Napoli is important, as a public prosecutor I’m anti-Juventus. That is, I’m against thievery on the pitch”).

Step back

Present and past events have mixed to such an extent that today Santoriello has decided to take a step back and on Monday he will not appear at the preliminary hearing of the Prisma investigation to lift the investigation from any possible media exploitation, a potential aftermath of the social mincer in which ended in the past few days.

The previous. Pro Juve

Currently in service at the anti-mafia district directorate in Turin, Santoriello has already crossed paths with Juventus in the past as well. In fact, he is always the prosecutor who in 2016, faced with a complaint for false accounting against the Juventus club, files with a device that then made law. An episode recently recalled by the criminal lawyer Luigi Chiappero, who in the Prisma investigation defended two former Juventus managers (Marco Re and Stefano Bertola): “Santoriello? A cultured magistrate who has never confused football with the law. In this regard I would remember how it was he who filed all the charges in a past proceeding opened on the accounts of the Juventus club”. A story of 2016, with the final decision arrived during the following year. And then “canceled” by statements that may be inappropriate but certainly also exploited.
