Soccer: Gaddafi buys shares in Juventus

Juventus have a new prominent shareholder, according to reports, in the form of Libyan president Muammar el Gaddafi.

Reports said Gaddafi has become the clubs second biggest holder through his investment company, Lafico.

Gaddafi has reportedly bought 6.4 million Juve shares, spending about €22.6 on the Milan stock exchange.

This means the Libyan leader now owns 5.31 per cent of the Italian side.

Car company Fiat owner and club boss Gianni Agnelli, however, remain the majority shareholders - with Agnelli holding 63 per cent of the shares.
