Former World Best Player Fabio Cannavaro Bags 10 Months Jail Term

 

Former Juventus and Real Madrid star Fabio Cannavaro has been handed a jail sentence for breaking the police seal at his home. The ex-Italy international defender’s villa had been seized as part of a planning abuse investigation, but the 41-year-old breached orders to keep out of his property.

Cannavaro was slapped with a 10-month jail term, while his brother Paolo, who plays for Serie A side Sassuolo, and his wife Daniela Arenoso were also hit with custodial sentences. However, the trio immediately appealed, which means the sentences are suspended until the court has re-visited the case.
According to an investigation led by prosecutor Luigi Cannavale in the southern Italian city of Naples, they went to the villa for a dip in the pool – ignoring the fact the property had been seized and they were banned from entering.
