EMPOLI, Italy : Juventus were handed a crushing 4-1 defeat at lowly Empoli in Serie A on Monday after they were docked 10 points in a new ruling over their transfer dealings.
Juventus have been docked 10 points by the Italian football federation for irregularities in the club's accounting. The Serie A side were initially hit with a 15-point sanction in January but the penalty was rescinded after an appeal. The federation has now moved to issue a new punishment after the federal court of appeal intervened, meaning the club could miss out on European football next season. Before the decision, Juventus sat second in Serie A with 69 points, well adrift of the new champions Napoli.
