The penalty would be effective immediately. Even in the event of a conviction, the club could appeal to the Coni guarantee college. The other requests followed the procedures of last spring.

Then, the ball went to the defenses. During the exposition of his defensive line, the Juventus lawyer Nicola Apa asked that the revocation procedure be rejected for a formal question. The Public Prosecutor’s Office allegedly exceeded the time limit for presenting the request. As emerged from articles in the press, the prosecutor had contacted the Turin prosecutor on 26 October and on 27 October the news of a visit to Turin by a prosecutor’s envoy had spread. So the first new facts would have come into the possession of the prosecution at the end of October. And the sports justice code prescribes the deadline of 30 days to present the request for revocation, which arrived, however, only on December 22, that is 56 days later.

The Court must decide whether to admit the revocation or definitively close this chapter. A decision in this sense is expected in the evening.
