Former Juventus director-general Luciano Moggi is facing six years in prison for his role in a player agency transfer corruption scandal, reports in Italy said Tuesday.
Public prosecutor Luca Palamara announced the sentences he will be pursuing, following a six-hour hearing in Rome.
ANSA news agency reported that along with the six years he is calling for Moggi, he has demanded Moggi's son Alessandro serve five years and the son of Italy coach Marcello Lippi, Davide, be incarcerated for one year and four months.
Lippi and Alessandro Moggi worked together for the GEA player agency which stands accused of pressuring players to join Juventus, whilst Luciano Moggi faces a host of accusations, notably pressuring referees to make decisions that would benefit Juventus.
Other figures who face jail time for their roles in the affair are player agent Franco Zanaglia, who is looking at three years, six months and two further collaborators, Francesco Ceravalo, two years and four months and Pasquale Gallo, eight months.
