The corruption probe involving Luciano Moggi took several years
Former Juventus football club general manager Luciano Moggi has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of corruption.
Moggi was banned from football for five years in 2006, having been with Juventus for 12 years. He was one of Italian football's most powerful men.
His son, Alessandro, was sentenced to 14 months in prison.
Juventus were stripped of league titles for 2005 and 2006 and relegated to the second division over the affair.
They have since returned to Italy's top league, Serie A.
Luciano Moggi, who denied any wrongdoing, allegedly influenced player moves involving the agency GEA, which was run by Alessandro Moggi.
Agent Davide Lippi, son of Italy coach Marcello Lippi, was acquitted, as was GEA's former chief executive, Francesco Zavaglia.
Luciano Moggi faces another trial on charges of sports fraud and criminal association, due to begin on 20 January in Naples.
His five-year ban was the result of a 2006 match-fixing affair.
