Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina have been charged with sporting fraud as part of the Calciopoli scandal.
These are the clubs referred to the Disciplinary Commission at the end of a wide-reaching investigation into alleged match-fixing and collusion with referees.
While Juventus were the side at the centre of the inquest following wiretaps on former director general Luciano Moggi’s telephone conversations, and the Turin giants are expected to run the biggest risks.
They could face anything from docked points to stripped titles and demotion into Serie B or even Serie C.
Milan insisted they were the victims of sporting fraud rather than the perpetrators, but they too have been charged.
Lazio and Fiorentina are thought to have had secondary roles, yet risk demotion if their involvement in sporting fraud is proved.
The trial will begin on June 28 and an appeal will be heard between July 7 and 9. The final appeal, at the Federal Court, will give its verdict before July 20.
