Hey guys, this is my first post ever on this forum. I am a big Juventus fan from Turkey.
At the end of the 2010-2011 season, Turkey also had a big cheating scandal which both president, vice-president and general director of Fenerbahçe had been involved. As compared with allegations against Bonucci, Pepe and Conte, it was far more serious and proven situation.
Well, actually there was even more evidence then Calciopoli, but during course of the trial, politics involved. Government in Turkey is very strong, and their harshness against anyone who oppose themselves, is well known. Despite the fact that there are evidence of cheating, most of the people saw the fact that there is a gestapo-wise, political scheme ongoing against Fenerbahçe. A simple cheating allegation turned up into a political fight, where Fenerbahçe (somehow) turned into a fortress against conservative-right wing alligned government.
Prosecutor requested 39 year imprisonment for President of Fenerbahçe. (It is higher sentence then murdering someone)
After that point, Fenerbahçe fans turned mad. They were simply camping outside the courts, waiting for the release of their president, while almost every team in the Turkey put a pressure against TFF (Turkey Football Federation) for not relegating Fenerbahçe into the second league, in fear of decreased TV incomes and in fear of tyranny. But TFF President (favored by Government) somehow resisted and banned Fenerbahçe from Champions League. Relegation is about to come.
Guess what happened?
Teams revolted against president of TFF and voted for getting Beşiktaş President into place, a person who promised that there will be no regulation, no penalty, no imprisonment. New president changed the rules, made contacts with Jurisdiction and even with the Government's itself, asked plea from UEFA, changed Turkey Super Lig's rules with a play-off system (which will keep the TV incomes high) and somehow, managed to save Fenerbahçe last year. Fenerbahçe President released from prison after 1 year.
But why?
Why do they have to save Fenerbahçe from relegation, and their president from prison, while there are some strong proofs about cheating? Money, prestige, TV incomes, future of football in turkey etc...These were the minor facts. Main reason is;
Social explosion!
Fenerbahçe fans were so angry and were about to riot, and their numbers were high enough to threaten government's policies, let alone TFF's. They fight with cops on the streets, they protested during the matches and they defended themselves in almost every scene you can think of; internet, tv, real-life, stadiums, streets... Super Lig Teams income from TV's reduced by %25-%30, while, surprisingly, Fenerbahçe's store sales increased by %40 (because almost every fan of Fenerbahçe bought a new kit to support)
The reaction from the Fenerbahçe fans didn't directed against TFF, it was rather directed against government agenda, with the support of other teams (because other teams were well aware that tides could turn against them too) they succeeded. Government realized they are loosing big number of votes, and creating their own rivals for nothing, so they released Fenerbahçe President.
TL;DR: It is up to fans to save Antonio Conte, Leonardo Bonucci and Simone Pepe. Curva Sud should not write a declaration, they must riot in the streets, in front of the courts. Only thing that Juventus Board can do is, stop sending players to national team. Other then that, it is up to Juventus fan, in the end, it is war!
