Fabio Paratici Defends Plea in Juventus ‘Plusvalenze’ Case, Insists on His Innocence

The Tottenham sporting director calls the settlement a pragmatic way to end a four‑and‑a‑half‑year ordeal.

Overview

  • Paratici said he felt ashamed to have to defend himself yet maintains he did nothing wrong in the case.
  • He argued the sanctions targeted a never‑before‑used accounting principle rather than artificially distorted player valuations.
  • He explained that requesting application of a penalty was a responsible choice to bring closure to a prolonged legal process.
  • After completing a 30‑month suspension in July, he was reinstated by Tottenham and credited the club for unwavering support.
  • He confirmed he was very close to joining AC Milan in the summer, though the agreement ultimately was not completed.
