The Serie A 2006/2007 season (officially "Serie A TIM 2006/2007") began September 10, 2006. It was scheduled to begin at the end of August, but was postponed due to the Serie A scandal of 2006.
Initially, Juventus F.C., ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio were relegated to Serie B, whereas A.C. Milan were deducted 15 points but were not relegated, and consequently U.S. Lecce, F.C. Messina Peloro and Treviso F.B.C. 1993, originally slated for relegation to Serie B, were to have been retained in Serie A, thereby keeping the top table at 20 teams.
Fiorentina, Juventus, Lazio and Milan all lodged appeals. As a result, Fiorentina and Lazio have been reinstated to the Serie A, but with 19 points and 11 points deductions for each team respectively. Milan's reduction was modied to 8 points. Juventus remained relegated to Serie B with a points deduction of 17. Lecce and Treviso return to Serie B, while Messina provisionally remains in Serie A to replace Juventus, pending further appeals.
As part of another inquiry, Reggina Calcio was handed a 15-point penalty, but was allowed to remain in Serie A. [1] The inquiry is continuing to investigate Messina, Lecce, and A.C. Siena.
The league is indefinitely halted as from 2nd of February 2007, when Commissioner Luca Pancalli called a stop to the league fixtures after police officer Filippo Raciti was killed in football related violence after the Sicilian derby between rivals Catania and Palermo [1]. Pancalli noted how the league fixtures would not start again till a solution to the growing violence issue in Italian football is found. The dramatic Sicilian derby events followed the passing of Ermanno Licursi, an amateur club manager, beaten up to death during a riot in a Terza Categoria league match.
