Per Football Italia: “Under Italian law Iaquinta will not be considered guilty until he has exhausted all levels of appeal, so he won’t be imprisoned immediately for a minor sentence.”
Iaquinta, 38, played his whole professional career in Italy. After producing heroics for Udinese, he secured a big transfer to Juventus where he won the Serie A title in 2013.
He also has 40 international caps to his name, winning the prestigious World Cup in 2006.

Six years on, Iaquinta is potentially facing two years behind bars.
