Inter Milan ‘Calm’ As Club Lawyers Receive No Notice Of Being Investigated In Ongoing Serie A Referee ScandalInter Milan are calm and undisturbed by the Serie A referee scandal engulfing former designator Gianluca Rocchi, with the club’s lawyers confirming no staff member has received any notice of investigation.According to La Repubblica, via FCInterNews, Rocchi faces charges of sporting fraud in connection with two matches, Bologna vs Inter, which the Nerazzurri lost 1-0, and the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Milan, which Inter lost 3-0.A third episode involves an alleged intervention in the VAR room at Lissone, previously assessed and archived by sporting justice.Rocchi faces a summons to appear before the prosecutor on Thursday.Inter Not Under Investigation As Prosecution Seeks To Identify Accomplices In Serie A ScandalThe prosecution alleges Rocchi manipulated referee designations, including assigning Daniele Doveri, described as unwelcome to Inter’s hierarchy, to the Coppa Italia semi-final return leg. The alleged purpose was to shield Doveri from officiating more important Nerazzurri matches.However, Gazzetta dello Sport note a significant contradiction.
Doveri refereed Parma vs Inter just three days after the alleged San Siro meeting where the arrangement was supposedly agreed.Furthermore, Gazzetta address directly whether Inter face any risk, again via FCInterNews.“At the moment, no,” the outlet conclude. No Inter staff or employees feature among the investigated parties. The club are filtering calm throughout.Indeed, the key unanswered question is who the unnamed accomplices are.
An arbitration figure? Or someone acting on Inter’s behalf?That remains unclear, and the Milan prosecutor, having opened the investigation last summer and obtained a six-month extension, continues to gather evidence through intercepts, testimony and new complaints.
