The president of ACR Messina, Pietro Sciotto, was sentenced to three months’ suspension and to pay a fine of 5,000 euros. The decision was taken by the Italian Football Federation following the verification of a violation of the duties of loyalty, probity and correctness.
The sanction was imposed due to the failure to file, by the deadline of 30 September 2023, the report containing the opinion of the auditing firm regarding the interim financial statements as of 30 June 2023 with Co.Vi.So.C. The report was only submitted on 7 November 2023.
