Federal Prosecutor asks for Juventus to be given 11-point deduction

It looks as though Juventus will be given an 11-point penalty for their capital gains case which has provided yet another twist in the top four race.

Juventus were given a 15-point deduction as part of the ongoing capital gains case but they had the penalty revoked last month but it was always known there would be a new trial in which the FIGC Federal Court of Appeal would determine their punishment.

According to TMW among other sources, the new request from the Federal Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné in the context of the capital gains trial against Juventus – which is being staged today in the Federal Court of Appeal – is an 11-point penalty.

Not only that, but he has asked for an eight-month suspension to be handed down to club officials who were implicit in the case.

The verdict means that Juve would move down to 58 points, putting them six behind Milan (with a game in hand) who are now in fourth place. It adds an extra spice to Sunday night’s game in Turin too, which could become a must-win for the Bianconeri.
