Lazio and Fiorentina were relegated to Serie B, where they face a minus-seven and minus-12 point deduction respectively. AC Milan were allowed to remain in Serie A, but were docked 44 points from last season, meaning they no longer qualify for the Champions League and were given a 15-point handicap for next season.
It is not clear if the appeals will be resolved before the July 25 deadline set by Uefa for the naming of the teams to enter next season's European competitions. As it presently stands Italy’s entrants in the Champions League next season will be Inter Milan, Roma, Chievo and Palermo, while Livorno, Parma and Empoli will compete in the Uefa Cup. The clubs are likely to face heavy financial penalties with the TV broadcaster Mediaset, already in talks with the league over reducing its rights fee payments for next season.
Some of the individuals implicated in the case were handed bans from football. Luciano Moggi, the Juventus general manager at the centre of the affair, was banned for five years and the former president of the Italian federation, Franco Carraro, was banned for 4 years.
