Former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi, banned from football for five years for his leading role in a 2006 match-fixing scandal, could face a three-year jail sentence in a separate case.

Judicial sources said yesterday that Turin prosecutors want Moggi and two other former Juve officials to receive two- to three-year sentences if found guilty of false accounting when in charge at the Serie A club. They deny the charges.

Moggi, also involved in a criminal trial for match-fixing, was handed an 18-month jail sentence in January in a separate transfer corruption case but will not serve time because of a general pardon.
