Juventus have just received a 15-point deduction in Serie A after the FIGC reopened their capital gains case and it comes as a shock to the Bianconeri and their fan base.
Juve had been cleared of any wrongdoing before investigators reopened the case and now they will have to work very hard to reach the Europa League places.
Max Allegri’s men will feel the punishment is unfair, but a report in Tuttomercatoweb reveals that after investigators reopened the case, they might even have given Juve relegation to Serie B as punishment.
They apparently received a punishment that prosecutors consider lenient, even though the club plans to appeal it.
Juve FC says
As long as we have maintained our innocence, we need not fear relegation as punishment.
The authorities worked hard on their investigation and seem confident before handing out the punishments, but we must appeal this ruling and clear our name.
The fans will be hoping it gets scrapped because losing 15 points means we almost certainly won’t play in Europe next season, which is unthinkable.
For now, the players must continue to win matches on the pitch to keep the club in top form and in a good position in the general standings.
