NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi has been sentenced to five years, four months in prison by a Naples court for his role in the 2006 Italian match-fixing scandal.
Prosecutors were seeking a sentence of five years, eight months for Moggi on charges of criminal association aimed at committing sports fraud.
Another former Juventus executive, Antonio Giraudo, already received a three-year sentence and has appealed.
The biggest corruption case in Italian soccer caused Juventus to be stripped of the 2005 and 2006 Serie A titles and relegated to Serie B by a sports court.
Moggi was not expected to be ordered to prison before his appeals process runs out.
