MILAN (Reuters) - A false accounting case against Juventus could be shifted from the soccer club's home city of Turin to either Milan or Rome at the request of defence lawyers, judicial and legal sources said on Wednesday.
Judge Marco Picco has asked Italy's top court to decide on the request in a move that will slow down proceedings.
Lawyers for the defendants argued that the case should be transferred to Milan, where the club is listed on the stock market, or Rome while local prosecutors want to keep it in Turin.
