IOL: Prosecutor requests relegation for clubs
Rome - The Italian football federation prosecutor on Tuesday called for the relegation of Italian clubs AC Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina for their involvement in the match-fixing scandal.
Stefano Palazzi requested Juventus be dropped to below the second division and that AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina are relegated to the second division.
He also requested deduction penalty points - 15 from both Lazio and Fiorentina, six from Juventus and three from AC Milan - which will be imposed at the start of next season.
Juventus' equity on the Milan stock market immediately dropped 7.59 percent after the prosecutor's request.
Palazzi has also asked that the last two Italian leagues titles won by Juventus are stripped from the club.
Earlier on Monday, on this third day of the trial where 25 people as well as the four clubs are under suspicion of sporting fraud, Italian football federation official Paolo Bergamo resigned.
The lawyer of Bergamo, one of two officials involved in designating referees under suspicion in this trial, announced his client was stepping down from his role at the FICG.
