It looks to me that Juve cleared of guilty charges but it's only because the judges thought that Juve isn't responsible for Moggi's action. So they think that Moggi has actually done things that may benefit him and or Juve (manipulating the refs or whatsoever) in the past but decided to let Moggi and only Moggi to blame. Is this correct?
You're getting there. Objective liability is the exact opposite of subjective guilt. So whether or not Juve was guilty of anything was not a question in the trial. The only question that arose was if Juve, as an employer, would be liable (responsible) for Moggi's culpable actions due to Moggi being employed and working for Juve. In other words if Juventus could be
identified with Moggi's actions (objectively, without it being based on guilt). The court answered no.
As for the court thinking that Moggi only had done things that benefitted him, I would have to read the verdict first, but I suspect that the court found that Moggi did things that benefitted
Juventus.
And now I hear you ask, how can Juve go free from objective liability if that is the case?
The answer is: 3 - three - cumulative conditions must be answered with "yes" to activate the objective liability.
My guess is that they answered "yes" to two of them: 1) That Moggi's culpable actions happened while he was employed and 2) that Juventus benefitted from his actions.
But there's a third condition and it states that if the employee has acted outside of his mandate / tasks etc. then the condition is not met.
Whether this was actually what cleared Juve, I don't know, I would have to read the verdict first, so this last part is merely speculation on my part. But Juve
were cleared of objective liability, and this is my guess on how it went down.
