Points deductions recommended for Italy clubs

A federation spokesman said the prosecutor had asked for Pescara, promoted to Serie A last month, to receive a two-point penalty either for last season or next term.

The federation must rubber-stamp the prosecutor's requests in the coming days. Pescara's promotion is not under threat given the Serie B champions were three points clear of third place.

Allegations have continued to flow for months and this week left back Domenico Criscito was left out of Italy's Euro 2012 squad after police said he was formally under investigation.
