Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes the Italian clubs involved in this summer's match-fixing trial have got off lightly.Of the four teams investigated - Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio - only Juve suffered relegation from Serie A.
The Turin giants will start their Serie B campaign next season with a 17-point handicap, making their return to the top flight at the first attempt a difficult task.
Milan will start Serie A eight points behind their rivals, with punishments of 11 and 19-point deductions handed down to Lazio and Fiorentina, respectively.
The revised sentences were issued after all four clubs appealed against more severe penalties.
Rummenigge believes the later judgements have not made an example of the clubs involved and thinks a firmer line should have been taken.
"I think the first version was more correct and this one seems too lenient to me," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
However, Rummenigge believes former Juve general manager Luciano Moggi, seen as the central figure in the scandal, should be kept away from football.
"The important thing is people like Moggi are no longer around," he said.
Moggi has been suspended from any activities in football for five years.
The Bayern supremo feels Juve's membership of the G14 group of top European clubs, of which Bayern is also a part, should be reconsidered.
He said: "The way they have acted with the scandal has also damaged us in the group of big clubs.
"The [G14 membership] question will be posed and we will have to discuss it."
