 Juventus, one of the most successful and well-known clubs in Italian football, has been docked 15 points in the Serie A league as a result of a recent scandal. The club's sporting director, Fabio Paratici, has also been handed a 30-month ban from Italian football.

The scandal, which has been dubbed "Calcioscommesse," involves allegations of match-fixing and illegal betting. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has been investigating the matter and has found Juventus guilty of "omissions regarding the reporting and management of the risks related to integrity."

The 15-point penalty is a significant blow to Juventus, who are currently sitting at the top of the Serie A league table. The club will also have to pay a fine of €60,000. The ban for Paratici is also a major setback for the club, as he is a key figure in the management of the team.

The "Calcioscommesse" scandal has rocked Italian football, with several clubs and individuals being implicated. The FIGC has taken a strong stance against the allegations, with several clubs and individuals being handed penalties.

Juventus has announced that it will appeal the decision and will fight to clear its name. The club has maintained its innocence throughout the investigation and has stated that it has always acted in the best interests of Italian football.

In the meantime, this is a huge blow for the club and its fans, as they will have to wait and see if the appeal will be successful. This scandal is a reminder of the importance of maintaining integrity in sport and the severe consequences that can result from any violation of rules.
