Juventus' 15-point penalty over transfer dealings has been reversed. Italy's highest sporting court says the case should be re-examined after Juve were accused of fixing their balance sheets by artificial gains from transfers. The lifting of the points deduction means Juventus move up from seventh to third in the Serie A table. AC Milan are knocked out of the Champions League places while Roma drop to fourth. Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici lost his appeal against a 30-month ban as part of the same proceedings. Juventus were accused of fixing their balance sheets by artificial gains of around 60m euros from club transfers, charges they were found guilty of by the FIGC's appeals court in January. The tribunal examined the legal legitimacy of the punishments handed out by the FIGC to the club and directors. The 15-point sanction was tougher than the nine-point deduction prosecutors had requested. Agnelli and the rest of the club's board, including former midfielder Nedved, stepped down in November while the investigation was taking place. Agnelli and Arrivabene were banned from Italian football for two years, with Nedved receiving an eight-month suspension. Cherubini and Paratici were suspended domestically for 16 months and two and a half years respectively. Paraatici left the club to become managing director at Tottenham before January's ruling, but his suspension was extended worldwide by Fifa in March. Juventus are also facing an investigation from Uefa over potential breaches of its club licensing and financial fair play regulations.
