Parma have been docked one point by the Italian football authorities for missing payment on taxes and wages last month.
The club confirmed midway through November that it had missed a deadline for payment of taxes and two months of outstanding wages.
Whilst risking a maximum penalty of a six-point deduction, the Ducali have been hit with just the one point removed from their current League tally, as confirmed on the Italian Football Federation’s website today.

The FIGC also confirm that the Tribunale Federale Nazionale’s decision includes a fine of €5,000 for the club, whilst President Tommaso Ghirardi and director Pietro Leonardi are each fined the same amount and handed two months of inhibition.
Parma, already bottom of the League, drop from six points to five as a result of this sanction and sit eight points adrift of safety after 14 rounds.
Ghirardi is on the verge of negotiating the club’s sale to a joint Cypriot-Russian investment group.
