| Reggina’s 15-point handicap has been confirmed on appeal in the Calciopoli trial, but Arezzo’s nine-point penalty was reduced to six.
The clubs went to the Federal Court after the original trial at the CAF inflicted a 15-point sanction on the Amaranto and a nine-point penalty on the Serie B side, but both retained their Divisional status.
It was widely reported that the penalties for purported match-fixing and pressure on referees would be slashed on appeal, but that turned out not to be the case.
The Stadio Granillo side will still kick off the new season from –15 points, making it an uphill struggle to avoid relegation.
Reggina President Lillo Foti (pictured) was suspended for two years and six months and the appeal court also confirmed that decision.
Arezzo’s nine-point penalty for the 2006-07 campaign has been cut to just six. Both clubs have the option of continuing their legal challenges in a conciliation meeting with the FIGC.
However, the sanctions on the other individuals in the controversial match against Salernitana – ex-member of the Referees’ Association Gennaro Mazzei, linesman Stefano Titomanlio and former Milan refereeing liaison Leonardo Meani – were upheld.
The punishments are a three-year suspension for the first two names and a three-month ban for the Rossoneri official.
This means four clubs will begin the new Serie A season with a handicap: Fiorentina (-19), Reggina (-15), Lazio (-11) and Milan (-8). Juventus (-17) and Arezzo (-6) will start the Serie B campaign from below zero.
