European football chiefs have opened an investigation into Juventus, hours after it was revealed that the Turin prosecutor’s office had requested indictments for former president Andrea Agnelli and 10 other former board members as well as the club itself amid allegations of false accounting.

Former vice-president Pavel Nedved and chief executive Maurizio Arrivabene — who both left the club on Monday when Agnelli and the entire board of directors resigned — are among those for whom indictments have been requested, along with former director of sport Fabio Paratici, who has moved to Tottenham.
