Juve appeal to TAR
Thursday 24 August, 2006
Juventus officially presented their Calciopoli appeal to the TAR Lazio tribunal on Thursday, ignoring the FIGC and FIFA’s angry warnings.
The Bianconeri failed in their conciliation with the Italian Football Federation last week and decided on Monday to lodge an appeal to the civil court, in the hopes of being reinstated to Serie A.
Juve were stripped of two Scudetti and demoted to Serie B with a 17-point deduction as a consequence of the match-fixing scandal.
The Turin club decided to continue its legal fight, ignoring the threatening statements coming from both the Italian and International Federation.
The FIGC stated they were ready to dock even more points if any scandal-hit club were to go to the civil courts.
FIFA confirmed on Wednesday that the situation would be “monitored carefully” and further decisions might be taken, should the circumstances require them.
The TAR Lazio may now schedule an extra hearing in August to specifically discuss Juve’s case.
The new season is set to kick-off on September 9 and both the FIGC and the Lega Calcio have guaranteed that there will be no further delays.
