In 2006, the world was shocked by the strong and unexpected decision to move the Italian champions Juventus to the second division due to his accusation in a match-fixing case in the so-called Calciopoli.
The name Calciopoli was given to this case in relation to the word “Tangentpoli” which means city of bribes and it was applied to some corruption conflicts in Italy, so the name was changed to Calciopoli in relation to the problem of corruption and match-fixing.
The Calciopoli scandal resulted in the Italian side Juventus being promoted to the Italian First Division with a 9-point deduction, and the Regina clubs also being relegated to the First Division were punished, in addition to the points deduction. from clubs Lazio, Fiorentina and AC Milan in May 2006, and notably the scandal was linked to leaked calls proving match result manipulation by clubs and coincidentally at the time Juventus were relegated to the first division , his neighbor Turin has moved up to Serie A.
Not only was the relegation of Juve to the first division at that time the only damage, but the deduction from his balance of 9 points with his relegation to Serie B, the ban from playing in the Champions League and the removal from 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 of the league titles from him, which were given to Inter before he rejoined Juventus and returned to Juventus again.
deduction 15 points
Last Friday, the Italian Football Association said: “The local football court deducted 15 points from Juventus as part of a transfer investigation.” behind leaders Napoli. A point deduction would see him drop mid-table, outside of qualifying positions for next season’s European Championship.
The decision was harsher than a nine-point deduction that football prosecutors requested earlier Friday during a hearing looking at how Juventus – Italy’s most successful club – and a number of other clubs handle player swap deals.
The court also ruled to ban former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli from holding any position in local football for 24 months.
He also decided to suspend Fabio Paratici, the former Juventus sporting director who is currently Tottenham Hotspur’s director of football, for a period of 30 months. Juventus denies any wrongdoing and states: “His accounts are up to standard. ”
