Do you really think Manchester city would be punished?

I am waiting for developments in this case. I read the latest news about their case awaiting trial in court. So far, the news only ends there, they don't say when the court trial will be held. This case should be revealed openly, including court proceedings. This has to do with the EPL and its credibility. There should be no different process for fellow EPL clubs. Everyone must have the same rights and obligations. The Man City case seems to be going on behind closed doors and not many media are reporting this news. In fact I read the source from January.

Did Manchester City commit another crime or it is the outstanding one that we all know about. I am asking because if it is the outstanding one we all know about it means that it has delayed for a very long time. Although I have not followed the media recently to know if there is another case. But then what I really need to say is that Manchester City is not above to be punished. Earlier this season Everton received their punishment which reduce their point to the relegation side and they are still struggling till date. In the serie A, Juventus faced such punishment and they took it in a good faith. So, Manchester City and the English football league management should not be a difference. If Manchester City is found coupable I think their English Premier League title of that season would also be retrieved. I do not believe in media trial, whatever be the outcome, we will all know.
Just take a look at this Manchester city case and how it has lingers for so long, this alone would tell you that their are so many things happening now behind close doors,  on the other hand, Everton case wasn't that long as this, between the space of 5months if am correct, everything was concluded, don't be surprised that they will just punish Manchester city by just telling them to pay fines, because that's how they normally punish the bigger teams in England, unlike smaller teams that got point deducted, which to me, is more severe than fines
