Juventus Deducted 10 Points For Financial Misappropriation
Juventus have been deducted 10 points following an investigation into the club's past transfer dealings.
Massimiliano Allegri's side were docked 15 points back in January for financial misappropriation.
Juventus were accused of falsifying accounts relating to the club's past transfer dealings.
The club denied any wrongdoing and launched an appeal at the Olympic Committee, Italy's highest sporting court.
The court ruled for Juventus's punishment to be suspended and the case re-evaluated by the Italian Football Federation.
The new ruling sees Juventus fall from second to seventh on the table.
An official ruling read: "The Federal Court of Appeals hereby absolves Pavel Nedved, Paolo Garimberti, Assia Grazioli Venier, Caitlin Mary Hughes, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio, and Enrico Vellano from the alleged offences and imposes a 10-point deduction on Juventus in the standings, to be applied for the current season."
"What was established by the fifth instance of judgment in this matter, which began more than a year ago, arouses great bitterness in the club and in its millions of supporters who, in the absence of clear rules, find themselves extremely penalised with the application of sanctions that seem to take into account the principle of proportionality.
"While not ignoring the need for urgency, which Juventus has never shied away from during the proceedings, it is emphasised that these are facts that still have to be evaluated by a judge."
