MILAN (Reuters) - One of three prosecutors accusing Italian soccer club Juventus of financial misconduct has left the case after the emergence of derogatory comments he made about the team, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
In a video shot at a legal conference in Milan in 2019, a year before the inquiry into top-flight Serie A club Juventus opened, Turin prosecutor Ciro Santoriello said:"I am a huge fan of Napoli , I hate Juventus".
Juventus, Italy's most successful soccer team, are based in the northwestern city of Turin. The club was relegated to Serie B in 2006 for its part in a match-fixing scandal centred on the allocation of referees. Public prosecutors in Turin have requested that former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, 11 other people and the club itself stand trial over allegations of false accounting.HEARING NEXT WEEK
