Juventus handed 15-point deduction for transfer deals
have been deducted 15 points for the current season by an Italian soccer court investigating the club's transfer dealings, leaving the country's most successful team marooned in mid-table.
With 20 games left to play this season, Juve were third in Serie A with 37 points, 10 behind leaders Napoli. The deduction pushes them down into 10th place, outside the qualifying spots for lucrative European competition. These included 24 months for Andrea Agnelli, who was replaced this week as chairman after formally stepping down in November, and 30 months for former sports director, Fabio Paratici, now managing director of football at England's Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.
"We consider this to be a blatant injustice also for millions of fans, which we trust will soon be remedied in the next court," lawyers for the club said in a statement.The club is controlled by the Agnelli family's ExorThe ruling reversed a previous decision in April to clear Juventus, 10 other clubs and their executives of wrongdoing.
