Juventus penalized 15 points: bianconero appeal arrives

Juventus in a statement reacted to the Court of Appeal’s ruling.

Juventus in a note published on its official website announced its appeal against the Court of Appeal’s decision to penalize the team by 15 points in the current league standings.

“Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that the Corte Federale di Appello – Sezioni Unite, having regard to the appeal for revocation pursuant to Article 63 of the Code of Sporting Justice proposed by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, has declared the appeal for revocation admissible and therefore revoked the pronouncement of the Corte Federale di Appello, Sezioni Unite, no. 0089/CFA-2021-2022 of May 27, 2022 and, as a result, ordered the penalty of 15 points in the standings for Juventus to be served in the current Sports Season and the temporary inhibition for the Sporting Director, Federico Cherubini, of 16 months to carry out activities in the FIGC, with a request for extension in the UEFA and FIFA spheres.”

“With the revoked pronouncement, the Federal Court of Appeal had rejected the complaint brought by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office against the decision of the National Federal Court, which, in turn, had acquitted Juventus and the other persons referred for the absence of any disciplinary offence with regard to the evaluation of the effects of certain transfers of players’ rights on the financial statements and the accounting of capital gains.”

“The Company awaits the publication of the grounds and announces as of now the submission of an appeal to the Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport under the terms of the Sports Justice Code.”
