Penalties move Juventus from second to seventh in Calcio

After losing 4-1 at Empoli on Monday, Juventus, Italy’s most successful football team, slipped from second to seventh in Serie A with 59 points. He has two games left this season.

Juventus are currently slipping away from qualifying positions for next season’s lucrative European competitions.

“The authorities have informed him of the court’s decision and he reserves the right to file a new appeal with Italy’s highest sporting body,” Juventus said on Twitter.

Authorities had deducted 15 points from Juventus’ balance last January in the case of player transfers, but Italy’s top sporting authority has ordered football authorities to re-examine the matter.

In the session ahead of the final verdict, two sources familiar with the matter said Italy’s football attorney general had requested an 11-point deduction from Juventus’ balance sheet.

New penalties

Juventus, which is owned by a holding company of the Agnelli family, faces other potential sporting sanctions including more point deductions. In a separate case, the FIGC is investigating alleged irregularities in the club’s payments to players as well as dealings with players’ agents and other clubs. The Italian FA last week ordered a new sporting trial against Juventus. It is not yet clear if possible sanctions that could be applied in the context of this new sporting event will affect the current season or next season.

Juventus deny any wrongdoing and said their calculations were in line with regulations.
