BEIJING, May 8 -- England coach Fabio Capello and former Juventus chief executive Antonio Giraudo are being investigated for alleged perjury. The move by Rome prosecutors comes after Capello and Giraudo testified in March at the corruption trial of the Gea World player agency, which was run by the son of Luciano Moggi, the former Juventus general manager who is at the heart of the scandal.
"We haven't heard or been informed of anything, but that's normal," Capello's son and manager, Pierfilippo Capello, said. "There is nothing new from when we first heard about this two months ago. We'll take action and offer an explanation when it is necessary."
Capello coached Juventus from 2004-06 and, according to the text of his testimony, repeatedly said he didn't remember nor know of any details of the scandal.
Prosecutor Luca Palamara said then that Capello could not hide "behind the 'I don't remember' line."

Capello resigned from Juventus in 2006 and the club's two titles won during his time were revoked. While Capello was not charged before a sports court for direct involvement in the scandal, Giraudo was banned from soccer for five years.
Juventus was relegated to the second division for its role in the scandal.
