Juventus president Agnelli slapped with 1-year ban over ticket scandal

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has been handed a one-year ban, with the club also fined.

Agnelli, now president of the European Club Association, has been given a one-year ban for his role in selling tickets to ultras, while Juventus have been fined €300,000.

Prosecutor Giuseppe Pecoraro has demanded the FIGC's court to ban the patron for two-and-a-half years and fine him €50,000.

Pecoraro had also asked for Juve to play two matches behind closed doors, plus another game with the Curva Sud sealed off.

Agnelli was also fined €20,000, as were executives Francesco Calvo and Stefano Merulla, who were similarly banned for a year, while Alessandro Nicola D'Angelo was suspended for an extra three months.
