Juventus has been docked 15 points following an investigation into the Italian club's transfer dealings.
The FIGC, Italy's football federation, confirmed the punishment on Friday, after a financial prosecutor in Serie A found the Turin club guilty of a number of financial violations that saved them millions in player salaries and transfer budgets.
In order to save money in recent years, this included inflating transfer values and lying to financial officials.Juventus was cleared of any wrongdoing in April 2022, but the investigation was reopened in December, shortly after the club's entire board of directors abruptly resigned.
Prior to the points deduction, Juventus was third in Serie A, 10 points behind leaders Napoli, but they are now 10th and 12 points out of the Champions League qualifying spots.
Tottenham are also embroiled in the scandal, with their director of football Fabio Paratici implicated, who worked for Juventus for 11 years before joining Spurs in 2021.He has been banned from Italian football for 30 months, but this will not affect his role with Antonio Conte's side, and there is no evidence that he did anything wrong while at the north London club.
Meanwhile, Juventus has denied any wrongdoing and plans to appeal the ruling.
For the time being, Massimiliano Allegri's team is preparing to face Atalanta on Sunday.
Of course, this is not the first time Juventus has been implicated in a scandal. They were also one of the clubs involved in the Calciopoli scandal, which resulted in them losing both the 2005 and 2006 Serie A titles and being relegated to Serie B.
