ROME (AP) — Juventus is in more legal trouble after the Italian soccer federation on Friday charged the club and seven former team directors with alleged fraud for the way they handled player salary cuts during the coronavirus pandemic.At the start of the pandemic, Juventus said 23 players agreed to reduce their salary for four months to help the club through the crisis. But prosecutors claim the players gave up only one month’s salary.Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, former vice president Pavel Nedved and former sports director Fabio Paratici are among those charged.The charges will lead to another sports trial, after the federation already inflicted a 15-point penalty on Juventus this season for false accounting.The 15-point penalty was suspended last month on an appeal to the country’s highest sports court within the Italian Olympic Committee and referred back to the soccer federation’s appeals court for a new sentence.Meanwhile, prosecutors in Turin have also charged Ju...Grains lower and Livestock mixed

DENVER (KDVR) -- It's not quite as tight as New York or California cities, but $1,500 doesn't get you much living space in Denver. Using Yardi Matrix data, RentCafe analyzed square footage rental costs in the 100 largest cities in the U.S. to see how much $1,500 will rent. Nationally, $1,500 a month will rent about 782 square feet of living space. Over half (56%) of the 200 largest cities offer more than the national average of square footage, but Denver isn't one of them. Denver ranks top 5 for worst air quality in the world In Denver, a $1,500 rent budget can afford about 646 square feet. This is the 75th smallest rental size for the price in the U.S. among 100 cities, about equal to Austin or Philadelphia. At opposite ends of the spectrum are New York City, where $1,500 will get 243 square feet of living space, and Wichita, Kansas, in which the same budget gets 1,463 square feet. Colorado renters can get more space by simply not living in Denver proper. !function(){"use strict...Jim Brown, legendary NFL running back, has died at age 87

Boston City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo continued to face the fallout of recent ethics investigations into US Attorney Rachael Rollins Friday, standing his ground as some call for his resignation.Speaking to reporters, Arroyo said recent attacks on him are political. He continued, saying while Rollins actions were unethical and that she should resign, he does not plan to step down from his job.“I’m not resigning,” he said inside City Hall. “I’m not resigning.”Rollins previously served as the Suffolk County District Attorney. Her appointment as U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts then prompted a race for the DA position. Arroyo’s 2022 campaign for the role was a major part of the investigations into Rollins, which generated a pair of reports from the Department of Justice’s Inspector General and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. In its report this week, the Department of Justice said Rollins and Arroyo exchanged text messages about the campaign.
