Juventus Wins Appeal, 15-Point Penalty Reinstated
Court of Appeal Accepts Prosecutor's Request
Collegio di Garanzia Adjourns Meeting
In a shocking turn of events, the Collegio di Garanzia (Court of Guarantee) has announced the reinstatement of Juventus' 15-point penalty. The decision overturns the previous ruling by the Corte Federale d'Appello (Court of Appeal of the Italian Football Federation), which had reduced the penalty to 9 points.
The decision stems from an investigation into alleged financial irregularities involving Juventus during the 2018-2021 seasons. The prosecutor had initially requested a 9-point deduction, but the Court of Appeal reduced the penalty to 3 points in April 2023.
However, the prosecutor appealed the decision to the Collegio di Garanzia, arguing that the reduced penalty was too lenient. The Collegio di Garanzia has now accepted the prosecutor's request, reinstating the original 15-point deduction.
The decision has sent shockwaves through the Italian football community and has significant implications for Juventus' standing in the Serie A table. The club, which had climbed to third place following the reduction of the penalty, now drops back to seventh place with 44 points.
The future of Juventus is now uncertain, as the club could face further sanctions if the allegations of financial irregularities are proven. The Collegio di Garanzia has adjourned its meeting until tomorrow to make a final decision on the matter.
