Juventus deducted 10 points, out of top 4 Serie A

Nearly a month after being returned points, Juventus received another big shock when the Court of Appeal of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) accused Juventus of inflating transfer fees to increase fake investment capital.

The penalty that FIGC gave to the "Old Lady" of Turin was a deduction of 10 points. Therefore, Juventus fell to 7th place with 5 points behind 4th place AC Milan (59 compared to 64).

Before being deducted 10 points, coach Allegri's team was second on the rankings with 69 points, behind Napoli.

The penalty made Di Maria and his teammates lose their spirit and suffered a 1-4 defeat on Empoli's field, in round 36 last night.

Having just received a heavy penalty, Di Maria and his teammates suffered a 1-4 defeat against Empoli.

Having suffered two painful blows, Juventus has almost lost the chance to compete for a ticket to the Champions League next season. Because Serie A 2022-23 has only 2 rounds left, it is difficult for the "Old Lady" to close the gap with AC Milan.

According to Italian media, Juventus will appeal again but the chances of success are not high. Therefore, the club with a record 36-time Serie A championship is at risk of not being able to qualify for the highest European football tournament next season.

Previously, in January 2023, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) heavily fined Juventus. The "Old Lady" was accused of financial fraud related to transfer deals in the period 2019 - 2021. Therefore, Juventus was deducted 15 points in Serie A 2022-23.

Immediately after the points deduction, Juventus immediately filed an appeal to the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI). During a three-hour hearing on April 19, the FIGC failed to provide clear evidence to charge Juventus. Therefore, CONI requested that 15 points be returned to the Turin team. Thanks to this ruling, the Old Lady returned to the top 4 of Serie A.
