Sanction against Juventus in Serie A: how many points are discounted and why

On Monday, May 22, the sanction was confirmed to the Juventuswith the Vecchia Signora receiving a 10-point discount in the current edition of Serie A for the “case of capital gains”, given the scandal that had already caused the departure of Andrea Agnelli from the presidency at the end of November 2022.

Although the original penalty was 15 points in January, it was appealed and lifted over the course of the season, but eventually it was reduced to a dozen points, seeing the bianconeri change their classification once again in 2022/23 Serie A. The Federal Court of Appeals made the new sanction official four months later.

The morning session was opened by the accusation of Federal Prosecutor Chinè, who had requested an 11-point fine and 8 months’ disqualification for executives pavel nedved Paolo Garimberti, Assia Grazioli-Venier, Caitlin Mary Hughes, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio, and Enrico Vellano. The hearing ended at 12:50 and saw Juventus intervene the lawyers Bellacosa, Sangiorgio and Tortorella.

THE MIRACLE OF GETTING TO THE CHAMPIONS 23-24

With this loss of points, Lazio and Napoli are automatically classified for the 2023/24 Champions League. Third and fourth place will have to be played between Inter (66 points), Milan (64) and Juventus (59). The Serie A championship has only two games left, so Juve are relying on a miracle to qualify. He should win his two presentations and hope Milan doesn’t win, in addition to needing ‘flat tyres’ from Roma and Atalanta.

THE FIGC STATEMENT

The court also acquitted Pavel Nedved, Paolo Garimberti, Assia Grazioli Venier, Caitlin Mary Hughes, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio and Enrico Vellano of the charges.”
