Luciano Moggi to Appeal His 5-year Prison Sentence

Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi is planning to appeal his prison sentence of five years and four months for his role in the 2006 Italian match-fixing scandal

Moggi tells Italy’s Sky TV that the prosecutors have won “only the first round,” adding that he’s “still fighting.”

Moggi was found guilty by a Naples court of criminal association aimed at committing sports fraud.

The scandal—the biggest corruption case in the history of Italian football — left Juventus stripped of the 2005 and 2006 Serie A titles and relegated to Serie B by a sports court.

Moggi also took issue with a Juventus statement issued after Tuesday’s verdict, which sought to distance the club from his actions, saying he didn’t “act alone.”
