Official Company note
July 18, 2011
The outcome of today’s Federal Council confirms the absolute treatment inequality in the event of similar circumstances.
The petition submitted 14 months ago by Juventus allowed for a deep examination, unfortunately not followed by any acceptance of responsibility by the sports bodies involved, who instead dismissed their political role as governance. It is understood that, in order to protect their millions of fans, as well as the shareholders and employees, Juventus must pursue the right and proper verification of facts while looking for treatment equality.
Therefore, the Club’s lawyers have been given the mandate to identify the best protection instruments in the administrative and international law. Management and lawyers are simultaneously proceeding with the assessment of the economic damages caused by such behaviours. Since today’s decision is far from providing equality and justice, Juventus want to assert all the internationally applicable rules at every relevant office.
