The conciliation meeting between the FIGC and Milan failed on Tuesday, as the club attempts to see their point deduction for this season reduced.

The Rossoneri were handed an eight-point penalty for the 2006-07 Serie A for their involvement in the Calciopoli scandal.

Milan presented their case in front of the CONI Conciliation Court and will now go the CONI arbitration, just as Lazio decided to do last week.

“The club and the FIGC were not able to conciliate, but the parties have agreed on the possibility of trying arbitration,” read an official statement.

In the meanwhile, the one-match home ban and the 100,000 Euros fine that were also handed to Milan have been suspended until the next hearing.

Leandro Cantamessa, one of the club’s lawyers, was hoping in a better outcome although he was not totally disappointed.

“We would have preferred to conciliate today, but we are moderately satisfied of the fact that the home ban was suspended,” said Cantamessa.

“We will continue our fight within arbitration. These are the rules of the game and Milan play by the rules.

“We hope the point deduction will be reduced, but if that were not the case we will accept the decision.”

Cantamessa has therefore ruled out the possibility that his club could turn to the civil justice system and appeal to the Lazio Tar.
