According to Football Italia, the FIGC did not present any evidence at the appeal, with their place taken by the CONI prosecutor in the case of Ugo Taucer. He said he "has a lack of clarity in the motivation that must be appreciated and evaluated by a new judgment." This ruling in favour of Juventus means the FIGC Federal Court of Appeal must re-evaluate for a new trial, which could take place within a month or beyond the end of the current season. Any new punishment would be pushed to the 2023/24 season.
Former Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved and other low-ranking members of the club's former board of directors saw the ban placed on them by FIGC cleared. However, Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and Director of Football Fabio Paratici saw their appeal rejected. The FIGC had initially imposed the 15-point deduction on Juventus after it was found that the club had overstated the value of its assets when reporting to the league, thereby inflating its finances. The club's alleged involvement in the Super League breakaway was also under scrutiny.
Juventus has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the club's finances. The club had to cut players' salaries and reduce the transfer budget to stay afloat. With the court ruling in their favour, Juventus can now focus on their Champions League qualification campaign. The club will play against AC Milan, Sassuolo, and Bologna in their remaining Serie A fixtures. Juventus needs to finish in the top four to qualify for the Champions League, a competition they have won twice before.
