the bans, while Novara, who were relegated to Serie B last
season, will start next season with a four-point deduction.
Other punishments handed out include a two-point deduction
for Serie B side Padova, one point for Empoli and four for
Reggina, while third-tier Albinoleffe received a 15-point
deduction and Piacenza were deducted 11 points.
Serie A sides Sampdoria and Siena were handed 50,000 euro fines.
