Juve, Lazio, Fiorentina in Serie B, with point deductions
AC have 15pt deduction.

Italy appears to keep its European places.

Juve's large point deductions puts them in Serie B for two seasons, so presumably noone will hang around to 'get them back up.', so lots of possible targets.

Perhaps fewer players on offer.
But if this is an Italian decision, are they doing something in their interest? (not have their cup winning players leaving the country?

The problem here is that the Italian legal system is very weak (and heavily politicised), particularly when it comes to corruption. The clubs know that if it is taken to a civil court it will be dragged out for years and probably will be 'timed out' leaving their records unblemished. What they are in fact doing now is nothing more than haggling over the sentence and in that respect much of the power lies with the clubs. If it was just one club they were going for, it might be a different matter, which might explain why Juventus seem to have been isolated in terms of the level of punishment. I also don't think it's a coincidence that it is the club with the most politically powerful president - the former prime minister - that has got off the lightest.
