Souness, atsikišmęs Glenmorangie Single Malt:

Patys prokurorai nesutinka su pirmosios instancijos teismo sprendimu ir prašo grąžinti nagrinėti iš naujo?Prosecutors have asked for the matter to be sent to a different court for a new trial, which would see Juventus handed the points back at least temporarily.
Jis tik vienas iš vienuolikos, tiesą sakant. Šiek tiek apie tai, kas jie tokie ir kokią reikšmę turi:
The advocate general participates in the court cases and may question the parties, after which they craft their opinions, though in the case when no new point of law is raised, it is not needed. It is only after their opinion that the Court of Justice starts to make its judgment. While the advocate general's opinion is not binding for the ECJ nor for the courts in the member states, their conclusions are often taken into consideration and are often indicative of the ruling by the Court of Justice in the case.
Katučių dar nepločiau šitoj vietoj, nes savo sprendimo dar nepaskelbė Europos Teisingumo Teismas. Gruodžio mėnesį ECJ advocate general Athanasios Rantos paskelbė atskirąją nuomonę, jog:
Europos Teisingumo Teismas sprendimą skelbs šiais metais. Ir nusprendus, jog tokie veiksmai neprieštarauja Europos konkurencijos teisei, šita Madrido teismo popierutė nežinau kokią reikšmę beturės.In his opinion, Rantos said that "the FIFA-UEFA rules under which any new competition is subject to prior approval are compatible with EU competition law. ... Having regard to the competition's characteristics, the restrictive effects arising from the scheme are inherent in, and proportionate for achieving, the legitimate objectives related to the specific nature of sport that are pursued by UEFA and FIFA."
The advocate general argued that EU competition law "did not prohibit FIFA, UEFA, their member federations or their national leagues from issuing threats of sanctions against clubs affiliated to those federations when those clubs participate in a project to set up a new competition."
He found that while the European Super League Company was free to set up its own competition outside of UEFA and FIFA, it could not continue to take part in UEFA and FIFA competitions at the same time, without their authorisation.
FIGC’s sanctions constitute a clear disparity of treatment against Juventus and its managers compared to any other company or member.
Juve yra Borsa Italiana listinguojama bendrovė (kartu su Roma ir Lazio), tai toks bugalterijos klastojimas, jei kaltinimai pasitvirtins, gali grėsti investuotojų class action ieškiniu (jei jie Italijoje galimi, to nežinau).We consider this to be a blatant injustice also for millions of fans, which we trust will soon be remedied in the next court.
