Soccer-Juventus reaches settlement with soccer authorities in salary case

Italy's soccer authorities on Tuesday said they had reached a settlement agreement with Juventus in a case centred on alleged irregularities concerning the club's payment of players' salaries.

Based on the agreement, Juventus will pay a 718,000 euro ($790,000) fine and renounce any appeals in ongoing sports cases.

The agreement, which comes after Juventus were docked 10 points earlier this year in a separate soccer case regarding the club's player transfer accounting, does not include further point deduction for Italy's most successful team.($1 = 0.9084 euros)
