will probably be released in english too, so just some key takeaways:
- we did nothing wrong
- prosecutor is talking bullshit
- potential sporting sanctions are unfounded
- club will continue to defend itself
From what I understood so far is that Consob gave us a second chance to declare financial statements. Agnelli and some other board members did not want to make any changes while the others did not want to escalate it any further and risk a war with Consob thus protecting both Juventus and Agnelli and co from house arrest. That's what Agnelli meant by "a divided house".
club did great defending itself in 2006 
this is so 2006 vibes right now

now there's an investigation that was started last year, and it didn't even go to trial
it might still end badly but it's nothing like calciopoli
I agree this seems different from Calciopoli, mainly because the procedures seem to be legit/legal, and objective evidence may have been found.
I don't think it will end up with Juve's relegation, also because there doesn't seem to be political willingness for that - Juve is no longer dominating, and I think FIGC has learnt its lesson that destroying Juve = destroying Italian football.
BUT I would recommend caution. As a reminder, the punishment from Calciopoli, if I'm not wrong, was also kind of "made up" - it wasn't positively expressed in the rules. So the fact there's no express rule stating sportive sanctions due to these infractions shouldn't make it definite that a harsh sporting punishment like relegation won't happen. It definitely isn't out of the cards. This is Italy, after all.
If this happened 4 or 5 years ago, I could actually see a bigger danger of relegation.
Anyway, this is a fucking tragedy. Agnelli is the father of it all. Let's see if this collective resignment will actually save the club from anything.

Always #Cherubini intercepted on #Paratici : "You couldn't reason with Fabio, as long as he was there #Marotta put a brake on him... You could wake up in the morning and sign 20 million without anyone saying anything to him. 'I said several times: we are exaggerating". #Juventus

probably other clubs' managers got the same treatment too, but we don't learn from the suarez case. these are idiots, i'm happy that they are mostly gone.
