Overview

• The FIGC Prosecutor's Office has deferred Brescia Calcio, its president Massimo Cellino, and delegate Edoardo Cellino to the National Federal Tribunal for alleged payroll tax and contribution payment failures.
• Brescia is accused of using invalid tax credits to settle payments for November 2024 through February 2025 and faces an eight-point deduction—four this season and four next.
• The penalty could drop Brescia into the relegation zone, saving Frosinone and altering the Serie B playoff structure, with Sampdoria potentially contesting playout matches.
• Trapani, a Serie C club, has also been deferred for similar violations, though any penalty for them is expected to apply to the next season.
• First-degree proceedings are expected to begin later this month, with an immediate verdict likely, as Brescia's pending sale to a foreign fund continues under legal uncertainty.
