Calciopoli: Reductions for all Tuesday 25 July, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Court of Appeal has returned Fiorentina and Lazio to Serie A, while cut the points penalties for Juventus and Milan.
The Calciopoli appeal verdicts were finally delivered this evening with all four of the convicted clubs being handed reductions on their initial sentences.
Juventus have remained in Serie B but will start the 2006-07 season with a 17-point deduction rather than the initial 30 imposed.
The appeal panel also confirmed that they would be stripped of their last two Scudetto titles won in 2005 and 2006.
Lazio have been reinstated to the top flight after initially being thrown into the Second Division. They will start the new campaign with an 11-point penalty.
Fiorentina have followed them back into Serie A even if they will start the 2006-07 First Division campaign with a 19-point handicap.
Milan, who remained in Serie A anyway, will now start the new season with an eight-point deficit rather than the 15 imposed by the CAF court.
The Rossoneri, initially stripped of their Champions League place, will return to the competition even if they will have to play in the preliminaries.
That’s because their 44-point penalty from last season has been reduced to 30 which means they would have finished third behind Inter and Roma, while ahead of Chievo.
Palermo, Livorno and Parma are now set to take the UEFA Cup places.
