Today’s (March 19) hearing in Parma lasted only 10 minutes in front of judge Pietro Rogato.
Parma’s new owner and president, Giampietro Manenti, was not present following his arrest the previous day on charges of money laundering and embezzlement.
Local accountants Angelo Anedda and Alberto Guoiotto will oversee the proceedings.
It is not known whether Parma will be able to finish the season. There is a plan in place with the league’s governing body and the Italian football federation to fund the club for the rest of the campaign. AP
