Sampdoria, Official statement regarding president Ferrero
- Anthony Privetera
"The agreement reached at the Sports Justice level does not represent any admission of responsibility, let alone in the criminal sphere."
Gianluca Tognozzi, lawyer and board member of UC Sampdoria, underlines and specifies about the inhibition of President Massimo Ferrero, his daughter Vanessa Ferrero (former member of the Board of Directors) and the fine imposed on the club.
Tognozzi explains:
"The choice of President Massimo Ferrero to negotiate with the FIGC Prosecutor's Office was dictated by the exclusive and superior interest of protecting UC Sampdoria to the maximum possible degree , as well as from obvious and connected reasons of opportunity that move, above all, from the different and far superior timing of ordinary justice versus sports justice ".
"Above all, in a sporting setting, an adequate defense could not have been effectively explained,considering the high degree of technicality of the disputed facts and the diversity of the procedural rules that govern one and the other order".
In conclusion, Tognozzi reiterates: "These are facts already known and it is clear that the agreement reached in the sports center does not represent any admission of responsibility for the facts disputed in the criminal proceedings".
