I would imagine the club would use 3rd party if needed as it seems mostly formality, though perhaps ethicaly dodgy to some.

unless he's banned from having a conversation with people in Italy which is impossible I don't see what the issue is it doesn't need to be his signature on any paperwork, he can just have the necessary conversations and get DL to sign.

Yes I mean how can they police his phone calls?
One of his main qualities was apparently the way he built relationships with prospective signings so you’d imagine he’d carry on schmoozing with impunity.
*this info might have been part of the Romario summer series so possibly not factually correct*

I know essentially zero about the Italian legal system, so I'm a little confused about what this 'ban' being requested entails.
1) Is this a criminal prosecution, or a football prosecution?
2) If it's criminal, who is banning him, and from doing what (none of the reports I can see make this remotely clear)?
3) If it's the Italian court that is going to 'ban' him, and it's something like 'from all football related activity for 16 months', is that only effective in Italy?
4) Is any ban backed up by threat of arrest and prosecution for breaching the order?
In short (or long), although any ban might only be effective in Italy, if Italian prosecutors find that he has so much as asked after the health of (eg) Steffan De Vrij after the ban is enforced, will that be a breach of the court order which could trigger an arrest warrant executable via Interpol?

Worst comes to worst, Levy asks Paratici who he'd like to work with to take care of the Italian side of things, and Levy hires that person.

Cheers Herc. I presume that's for the last question.
Still interested as to exactly who is prosecuting him and under which jurisdiction any ban will apply.

Hasn't Hercules already explained it's the Federal prosecutors office and outside of that country it has no power! It is not recognised by UEFA/FIFA.

I understand that. What I was trying to ascertain is what effect that court ruling has. Usually when a court issues an order against a person (such as a football banning order) it is backed up by threat of imprisonment for breaching it.
A ruling in Italy, that applies within the jurisdiction of Italy, of course couldn't stop Paratici conducting business with, or in, Spain for example. But it might prohibit Paratici even contacting a club, player or official in Italy for football purposes, even if he himself is in the UK at the time. If that is the case, and he has found to have been involved in any way whatsoever with a transfer (behind the scenes, anything), then to what extent can a court in Italy seek to prosecute him for a breach of the court's order.
That's why I was trying to understand the nature of the prosecution, and the type of ban the prosecution are asking for. None of the reports I can find go further than merely saying a prosecution is happening.

Paratici acquitted of financial malfeasance by Italian court
DON FABIO IS FREE
Tottenham Hotspur Managing Director of Football Fabio Paratici is a free man! According to Gianluca DiMarzio, Paratici was ACQUITTED along with the other 58 Italian club officials indicted by Italian financial regulators and charged with financial malfeasance over inflated transfer valuations. The charges against all of the accused Italian clubs have also been summarily dismissed.
Paratici was charged with, basically, cooking the books for various player swap deals while serving as a director of football at Juventus. His charges came amidst a wide-ranging probe that encompassed 11 Serie A clubs and included nearly 60 football club executives. Italian prosecutors had asked the ruling tribunal for a range of punishments that included a ban from football of 16 months for Paratici, and a fine of £800k levied against Juventus.
Now, it looks like everyone involved has been found not guilty.
DiMarzio’s is an Italian language article. Being neither a lawyer nor an Italian I won’t even pretend to fully understand the nuance of what’s being discussed here, but Paratici’s charges were dismissed as part of the “first instance sentencing.” Now, what I’m not sure about is whether that means that there are further instances or charges that could still come down the pipe. I’ll leave that for actual Italian lawyers (and if you happen to be one, please say hi in the comments below.)
There was some question as to whether any punishment Paratici would’ve received would even be applicable if he were found guilty since Don Fabio has already left Juventus and is now employed by Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs’ refusal mention or even comment on these charges made me at the time think that it wasn’t anything we needed to worry about. But now, we have extra double plus zero reasons to worry.
Paratici is free! Time to celebrate, calzones and Campari for everyone! (We’ll skip the lasagna.)
