Following a months-long investigation into their transfer-related accounting practices, the FIGC confirmed Juventus were handed a deduction of 15 points for the current season by the Italian Federal Prosecutor’s Office.

The points deduction moves the Bianconeri from third in the Serie A table down to eleventh with 22 points.

Furthermore, the court also handed bans to former Juve chairman Andrea Agnelli (24 months), Fabio Paratici (30 months), Maurizio Arrivabene (24 months), Federico Cherubni (16 months), Pavel Nedved (8 months), and Francesco Roncaglio (8 months).

The decision comes barely 48-hours after the club appointed its newest Board of Directors. All of the former board members resigned en-masse in late November after the results of the investigation were revealed.
