Milan, Feb 13, 2023 (AFP) - Genoa have been docked a point in Italy's Serie B after failing to pay taxes for September and October last year, the country's football federation announced on Monday.
In a statement, the FIGC said that it had accepted a plea bargain from the nine-time Italian champions who stay second in Serie B on 42 points, 12 behind leaders Frosinone in the race for promotion.
Genoa's CEO Andres Blazquez Ceballos was fined 6,000 euros for the offence.
The FIGC let Genoa off from a more severe punishment because the club had paid part of what they owed and showed evidence that on the final December 16 deadline they had the funds to make rest of the payment.
