Italy’s football prosecutor has asked for Juventus to be docked 11 points in the current Serie A season in a new hearing around the club’s transfer dealings case, two sources close to the matter said on Monday.
The prosecutor’s request came after a 15 point penalty against the club decided in January was scrapped by Italy’s top sports body, which ordered football authorities to hold a new hearing.
Milan-listed shares in Juventus fell as much as 4.9% after the news of the potential punishment broke, and were down 4.5% by 0935 GMT.
The football court’s verdict is expected later on Monday.
With three games left to play this season, including one on Monday evening, Juventus is second in Serie A with 69 points, behind this season’s champion Napoli.
The deduction would push Juventus, Italy’s most successful football team, out of the qualifying spots for the lucrative European competitions.
