Turin, 16 July (LaPresse) – Sporting sanctions that affect freedoms guaranteed by EU law must be subject to review by a court with the power to set them aside and to adopt interim measures. This was ruled by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the case of two former Juventus executives, who were sanctioned as part of the FIGC proceedings concerning fictitious capital gains. A ban on practising a professional activity in all Member States can only be justified if it pursues a legitimate aim and is proportionate. It will be for the Italian court to verify that the sports justice system guarantees effective and independent oversight; a two-tier appeal process is not required.
