I don't know enough about CAS, to know that SOL would be irrelevant for sure... I think it's more so a case of us being able to charge FIGC and Inter with fraud, conspiracy, libel, etc, to have us relegated illegally, and having the CAS hear the case. I think it would be a case of us having to actually become protagonists in this whole affair rather. As in an entire new case, with nothing to do with the original proceedings. And that would void SOL, wouldn't it? Suing FIGC and Inter for criminal conspiracy against Juventus FC? We should be able to do that, as it is entirely independent of the original case.
1. You can't bring criminal proceedings before the CAS. The CAS has no authority whatsoever over domestic criminal facts. Only the Italian criminal judge has the power to judge over what was and was not a criminal fact according to Italian criminal law.
2. The SOL is not something that can be changed just by starting a new case. Sometimes they can be extended, but apparently in this case the periods of prescription have expired.
3. I think Juventus is most likely to see any good come of this by suing the FIGC either before the Italian civil judge or the CAS. I don't know if the CAS is able to handle such a hefty case though as I'm pretty sure it was not designed for this type of cases.

Statute of Limitations kicks in once there is an uncontested ruling. In Italy, I suppose it's 5 years from when a ruling occurs with no appeal. Because we didn't appeal our punishment originally, we screwed ourselves. Agnelli's death really fucked us over in that regard. It's so obvious that Inter and FIGC were waiting for that power vacuum to occur after his death to attack us, plus the impending world cup, and threats from FIFA over getting any scandal sorted out.
The event being the criminal fact itself, not the ruling.
