As the legendary Serbian player says, EuroLeague management sent a recommendation to competent commissions to allow Campazzo's registration on December 30, ahead of the imposed sanctions by the Finance Panel.

"On December 30, 2022, the EuroLeague management sent a recommendation to the competent, independent commissions -- the Management Control Commission and the Finance Panel -- to allow the registration of Facundo Campazzo in Crvena Zvezda and to allow him to play, because it's in the interest of the competition," Bodiroga told Sportal.rs.

"At the same time, we supported all decisions that go in the direction of maximum compliance with all regulations related to financial stability and fair play, which also means strengthening supervision," he added.

It was announced yesterday that Euroleague Basketball's Finance Panel, an independent regulatory body, has imposed a sanction consisting of a prohibition to register new players and coaches until February 28, 2023, and a fine of €25,000 on Crvena Zvezda for severe violations of the Financial Stability & Fair Play Regulations (FSFPR).

Bodiroga, as the president of the EuroLeague, has no right to amnesty. Such an action could be only made by the league's CEO Marshall Glickman.

"Regarding the final decision, my position is quite clear, and there is no need to further clarify it," Dejan Bodiroga said.
