JAKARTA - Juventus seems unable to be far from sanctions. It was a relief that the 15-point deduction sanction was temporarily lifted, now the Old Lady must accept the harsh reality again.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially imposed a 10-point deduction for Juventus. This sanction relates to cases of financial manipulation and transfer value.

This reduction makes Juventus now down to seventh place from second place in the Italian Serie A 2022/2023 standings. Obviously this reduces Juventus' chances of finishing in the top five with three matches remaining.

Previously Juventus had been sanctioned with a 15-point deduction last April. However, the sanction was later lifted temporarily.

The revocation was carried out so that the appeals court to revise the sentences handed down to the club and several key figures, including the former deputy chairman of the Turin club, Pavel Nedved.

Juventus said they "had the right" to appeal the latest decision to the Sports Security Council.

"While not ignoring the urgency, which Juventus never ignored during the trial, it is emphasized that this is a fact that the judge still has to evaluate," Juventus said on his Twitter account, as quoted by AFP via Antara, Tuesday, May 23.

The latest FIGC decision made Lazio replace Juve in second place. Lazio are certain to qualify for next season's Champions League group stage.

Juventus are also involved in criminal proceedings over their accounting practices with 12 club officials today, including Pavel Nedved and Agnelli who have the potential to be tried.
