The press service of the Juventus football club on Twitter commented on the deletion of 10 points from the team in the standings of the Italian championship.
Juventus takes note of the Court of Appeal’s decision and reserves the right to investigate the reasons for a possible appeal. What the fifth court found in this case, which began over a year ago, is a source of great sadness to the club and its millions of fans. We were subjected to harsh sanctions as it was seen that the principle of proportionality was not followed.
the previous day reportedThat the Italian Federal Court of Appeals imposed such sanctions on the Turin club for fraudulent financial statements. Thus, Juventus dropped from second to eighth in Serie A after 10 points.
Recall that in January the “old woman” was fined 15 points for financial fraud at the Italian championship. It has been found that Juventus is busy exaggerating the transfer value of the team’s players in order to raise capital.
Later, the Sports Guarantees Council of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) partially accepted the club’s appeal and sent the case to a higher court for consideration. Juventus are temporarily back to 15 points in the Serie A standings.
Later, information emerged that the Prosecutor of the Italian Football Federation, after receiving new evidence, has the right to reopen the case and deprive Juventus of nine points in the championship.
