ROME, ITALY(AFP) - Former Juventus bosses Luciano Moggi, Antonio Giraudo and Roberto Bettega were on Tuesday acquitted of any wrongdoing related to transfer dealings at the club.

The three had been accused of a variety of charges ranging from falsifying accounts, tax evasion and sporting fraud.

But Turin judge Dante Gibinel acquitted all three due to a "lack of evidence".

Prosecutors had asked for a three-year custodial sentence for former chairman Giraudo and former director Moggi and two-years for former manager Bettega.

Juventus were also aquitted of any wrongdoing despite having entered a plea bargain.

"This is a triumph of justice," said one of the accused's lawyers , Andrea Galasso.

The case was one of many brought against various parties following the 2006 match-fixing calciopoli scandal that saw both Moggi and Giraudo banned from football-related activities for five years.
