They had been additionally stripped of their two earlier Serie A titles, whereas the membership’s common director, Luciano Moggi, was banned for all times.
This resolution brought on immeasurable harm to the membership from a sporting and monetary perspective, whereas a bunch of star gamers, like Fabio Cannavaro and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, left the membership looking for greener pastures.
Why Juventus paid the last word worth in Calciopoli scandal
Whereas Juventus suffered an absolute disaster, different golf equipment like Milan and Lazio had been solely slapped with some extent deduction, regardless of being dropped at trial.
Furthermore, Inter emerged as the last word beneficiary, as they had been awarded a title they now gained on the pitch, whereas the absence of Juventus allowed them to kickstart a successful dynasty.

“It wasn’t simply Juventus, which was unscrupulously tampering with the refereeing career, however all the main golf equipment had been calling, requesting referees they preferred, or reporting these they didn’t like. Whereas we will acknowledge that Swiss cellphone playing cards stay a darkish difficulty, the big disparity in convictions between golf equipment stays a colossal injustice.”
