The non-payment of withholding taxes on some players' salaries sold in January puts Reggina in trouble and risks postponing the playoffs in Serie B.
Among the cadets there is not only the scandal of fictitious capital gains with the involvement of Cagliari, albeit marginal, for Cerri's signing from Juve: the Reggina case is also holding the court.
The amaranth club was deferred for non-payment of the withholding taxes of 16 February and some salaries relating to the players transferred in January. Reggina is under agreement with the Court and has been blocked in payment .
The Court has full autonomy in the matter and has decided to block payments relating to withholding taxes and some payments. As per the regulation, the referral was triggered and the Calabrian club risks 4 penalty points.
The Pelligra club – which would have no problems from an economic point of view with the new ownership – has decided to go all the way, it doesn't feel guilty and has no intention of negotiating a deal. The club, moreover, was prevented from paying withholding taxes and salaries.
The amaranth club is ready to appeal and the matter could be postponed beyond May 19, the date of the last day of the Serie B championship. The amaranths have a game to recover and will have to defend at least eighth place to guarantee the promotion play-offs . If they were to qualify, the freezing of the standings with the possibility of a postponement of the playoffs cannot be excluded.
