JUVE SHARES SUSPENDED AMID SCANDAL

Tagged in

As the scandal gripping Italian soccer continues, shares in Serie A giants Juventus – the club at the centre of the match-fixing probe – have been suspended.

The club, crowned champions at the weekend, have seen the share price plummet since allegations first surfaced – prompting share trading to grind to a halt yesterday.
The price plunged amid suggestions if allegations are proved the club could be stripped of their title and even demoted.
Meanwhile, Juve general manager Luciano Moggi yesterday spoke to police as they investigated the claims surrounding the club.
The club’s board of directors resigned en masse last week, and Franco Carraro, head of Italian FA the FIGC last week also quit.
