Itay's antitrust authority on Friday
said nine Serie A clubs including Juventus, AC Milan, Inter
Milan, AS Roma and Lazio breached norms on the sale of match
and season tickets by imposing "vexatious clauses".
The other clubs implicated in the probe are Atalanta, Cagliari,
Genoa and Udinese.
According to the antitrust, the clubs failed to recognise
consumers' rights to reimbursements.
It said some of the clubs had amended their conditions since the
start of the probe.
It ordered the clubs to pay compensation in a number of cases.
Consumer rights group UNC President Massimiliano Dona said "this
is excellent news".
The probe was opened after UNC complaints.
"This is a victory for consumers and a confirmation of the
solidity of our charges," said Dona.
He said the UNC "would have peferred monteray punishments
against these clubs which obstinately refused to recognise the
rights of consumers".
It said fans who have not yet obtained compensation should be
entitled to do so.
