The FIGC inquiry will likely lead to a massive sports trial this summer -- just like the one in 2006 that resulted in Juventus being relegated to Serie B and point-penalties for several other top clubs. Juventus was also stripped of the 2005 and 2006 titles.
Over the past year, prosecutors in Cremona have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring that stretched as far as Singapore and South America and was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years.
More clubs and people could be placed under inquiry once Stefano Palazzi, the FIGC prosecutor, works through documents relating to another wing of the probe based in Bari.
Novara will be relegated to Serie B after this season.
