Another Italian Serie A club will go to trial in the nation's match-fixing scandal.
Italy's football prosecutor ordered Reggina, another Italian Serie A team, to stand trial in a match-fixing scandal that has already penalised four of the country's top clubs.
An Italian Football Federation (FIGC) spokesman said prosecutor Stefano Palazzi charged Reggina with sporting fraud but did not offer further details.
ANSA news agency reported that six Reggina matches were under scrutiny following telephone wiretaps involving the team's president, Lillo Foti.
The trial against Reggina, which finished 15th in the table, follows last month's tribunal in which Juventus was banished from the top-flight and Lazio, Fiorentina and AC Milan were punished by deducting points.
Juventus also was stripped of titles from the past two seasons for seeking unfair advantage in the appointment of referees.
The Chamber of Arbitration of the Italian National Olympic Committee will hear Juventus' appeal on 18 August. It is the last level of appeal in Italy before unresolved cases go to civil courts, the level which most of the teams have vowed to go to, if need be.
