"Juventus" president Andrea Agnelli has been suspended for a year and must pay a fine of 20,000 euros.
This punishment was imposed on the leader of the "Serie A" champions for connections and allowing the sale of tickets to mafia-related groups.
Other "Juventus" leaders also received blows from the local federation, and the team itself must pay a fine of 300,000 euros.
It is claimed that tickets were sold to mafia representatives, who later made a large profit by reselling them on the black market.
Just a month ago, A. Agnelli was appointed as the head of the European Club Association, and it is not yet clear how this decision by the Italian federation will affect his activities in this important post on the Old Continent.
"Juventus" intends to appeal.
