Bianconeri are accused of false accounting
Penalty would see them drop to eighth in Serie A

A prosecutor for the Italian football federation has requested a nine-point penalty for Juventus for alleged false accounting involving the Bianconeri – a punishment that could wreck the club’s chances of playing in Europe next season.

Giuseppe Chiné made the request during a hearing before the federation’s appeals court. Chiné also requested a 16-month ban for former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and similarly long bans for other members of Juve’s former board, which resigned en masse in November following an investigation by Turin public prosecutors into alleged false bookkeeping.
