Ups and downs may come in Serie A! In recent hours, rumors have been growing in Italy that the Juventus expected to win the appeal and she will see the 15 points deducted from her months ago returned.
The appeal was filed today at the “Collegio di Garanzia” in a trial that lasted three hours and the verdict is expected, as announced, tomorrow Thursday (20/04).
Already, there are some indications, as the FIGC (ss. Italian federation) did not participate in the appeal, so their role was taken over by the sports prosecutor of CONI, Hugo Tausser.
He admitted that the reasoning behind the 15-point penalty “lacks clarity of motive that must be assessed and evaluated with a new trial”. This leads to a middle ground, with the case being heard in a different appeals court for a new trial.
If this decision is made, to have a new trial in a different appeals court then Juventus will get the 15 points back pending the new trial, because it may take a long time for the verdict to be announced.
If this happens, then the Juventus will rise to 59 points and third place. He will be -2 from the second and +6 from Roma, holding in his arms the ticket for the Champions League groups of the new season.
