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

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”).

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.

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.
