Category: <b>General</b><br><br>The FIGC will take part in the CONI Conciliation meetings with the Calciopoli clubs and newspapers predict further cuts to the original penalties.
Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and Milan all saw their handicaps slashed in half by the first appeal, but have staged another legal action with the CONI.
As the start of the season is impending and there is another court left that these sides can appeal to – the Lazio TAR Tribunal – it’s claimed the Federation will negotiate a discount to end the issue now.
Juve are the first to be heard on August 18 and, if the FIGC attempts to offer a deal in order to avoid going to the TAR, then the other three sides can expect similar treatment.
Although it’s highly unlikely the Bianconeri will be allowed back into Serie A, they should have a few more points shaved off their handicap.
The original Calciopoli verdicts ordered them to start the 2006-07 campaign with a 30-point penalty, but that was cut to just 17 on appeal.
Lazio and Fiorentina were demoted, then brought back up to the top flight with an 11 and 19-point penalty respectively.
Milan’s original 15-point handicap was reduced to eight on appeal. They also had a one-match ban on playing at San Siro.
“It’s not true this is a whitewash,” assured a Federation source in the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’. “The scandal has been noted and the sporting justice system must be respected for its verdicts.”
Meanwhile, Messina, Lecce and Brescia have formally been admitted to Juve’s CONI meeting as third parties in the scandal, as they seek a return to Serie A.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
