AC Milan faces UEFA punishment


AC Milan faces another round of UEFA punishment for breaking financial fair play rules. UEFA says its independent club finance investigators have sent Milan's current file to a panel of judges.

The latest case is separate from the panel's judgment in December that fined Milan 12 million euros ($13.5 million) and threatened a one-season ban from European competition if the club fails to break even on transfers, wages and other expenses in June 2021.

The previous case covered a three-year rolling assessment of Milan's finances up to 2017. The latest prosecution covers the next three-year assessment, through 2018. Although Milan is a seven-time European champion, its finances have taken a hit during a five-year failure to qualify for the Champions League.
