Juventus: Chiellini’s twin brother kept “double books” according to prosecutors
Claudio Chiellini is emerging as a key figure in prosecutors’ investigations into Juventus’ accounts after allegedly irregularly calculating gaps to be filled.
Details that have emerged from the prosecutor’s investigation into Juventus’ accounting practices also involve former players at the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them and it is possible that he will be summoned again by the Turin prosecutor’s office and will eventually produce documents revealing undeclared pay slips of the “Bianconeri”.
It seems certain that if a team-mate knew of her, it was his then-captain Giorgio Chiellini, since according to prosecutors and Gazzetta dello Sport, his twin brother Claudio was in charge of Juventus’… creative accounting.
Claudio Chiellini is not under investigation but, according to the filing, he acted as the club’s unofficial accountant, keeping track of all expenses and calculating the gaps to be filled through ‘fake’ balance sheets the club has allegedly presented over the last few years.
According to records made during investigations and document seizures, there is an email communication between Claudio Chiellini and Federico Cherubini and Fabio Paratici, two former directors of the club, always with the same title: “Corrective Maneuver”.
His role on the org chart was in charge of loan players until July 2021 when he left to become director of football at Pisa.
It is reminded that Juventus is under separate investigation for irregularities related to capital gains from 2019-2021 and four months of payroll irregularities during the earlier coronavirus period.
