The Italy boss has been charged for sporting fraud over allegations that he failed to report match-fixing in a clash between Albinoleffe and Siena in 2011 during his time at the latter, though a ruling is not expected until late May.
Italy head coach Conte, who has been confirmed as Chelsea's next boss after Euro 2016, has already agreed to a summary procedure, which speeds up the judicial process and, if found guilty, will see his sentence cut by one third.
In addition to the six month sentence, the prosecutor has proposed an €8,000 fine for the 46-year-old, though his lawyers remain confident of proving his innocence.
Speaking to Reuters, Conte's lawyer, Leonardo Cammarata, said: "Antonio Conte denies any wrongdoing and any knowledge of an attempt at match-fixing."
Conte was already handed a 10 month suspension for the charges during his time at Juventus, though it was eventually reduced to four months.
