He always said that the EU courts were on his agenda. If he doesn't like what he hears he will likely go there too.

Ya, but they are full of shit. I don't doubt that you ran into people like that in Naples. They are definitely there, but when a friend of a friend starts saying that a guy they hate is involved in this or that, it's likely BS. Why do I say this? Two reasons: 1. For all the shit people said...

Thoughts on what? People claiming money for damages? No one will get a dime including us. Betting scandal? A few scapegoats will be found and destroyed like Moggi was while the majority of the league remains protected. GEA trial? He had been found innocent there a long time ago. A new...

hahahaha your friends are full of shit. It's Berlusconi that has the Camorra ties. Several members campaigned for him and several others served on his first board of directors as Milan's owner.

The prosecution made the motion. As for the odds...I don't know. In a normal country I'd say 0% but this is Italy. We'll find out in a month I guess. I think they are trying to pressure her into resigning from her position. Though I wouldn't be shocked I find it hard to believe that her...

She's a bitch. I wasn't kidding. That's it. They are claiming that her character makes it difficult to work with her. It is a very weak argument. They are also stating that she is not giving the trial the proper importance which will be difficult to prove as she never rushed the process and...

Exactly, if she is really that impartial then I wish other judges would use her as an example. If she is fair then she is not bad for us at all and that might be why it is the prosecution that wants her removed and not the defense.

I know you guys want updates but there is pretty much nothing to say. This is the first time I have ever heard of 3 separate attempts to remove the judge from a trial in Italy and the amazing thing is that all 3 came from the prosecution. Casoria herself said “it appears as though the accused...

He is being seen by Palazzi regarding Calciopoli, specifically the Inter calls to referee designators and referees etc. Stefano Palazzi is the FIGCs prosecutor. In the meantime Vieri has offered Palazzi a cd loaded with Inter calls that he came across in his trial...

eh, I'm still all laughed out from when Auricchio took the stand.

hahaha Mark did you get what I got out of that. They want her out because she was rude to the other magistrates.

Simple, there are really two basic reasons that a prosecutor would request the disqualification of a judge. The first is that there is a conflict of interest between the defense and the judge (maybe someone should have asked for Guido Rossi’s disqualification 5 years ago). If this were the case...

For those uncertain as to what they were sentenced for I will summarize it. They were accused of controlling the player market and found not guilty. They were instead found guilty of threatening four ex-Juventus players with “never seeing the field again at Juventus” to entice them to accept...

This takes me to the last point. What is the most likely outcome? There are those here who say nothing will happen. There are those who say that the team will receive hundreds of millions in damages, 2 titles, Inter in B, and an apology. Both are extremes and I think that the truth is...

Another common question is why didn’t Juventus defend itself and why doesn’t it defend itself now? These are actually two questions with different answers. The first regarding 2006 is the part of the scandal that I hate the most. No element of the scandal has caused me more grief and more...

The question of “did Moggi resign and why?” came up a couple of times as well. Yes he resigned. As in most major decisions there was more than a single reason behind it. The decision that was less important was that he felt that he was going to be removed at the next shareholder meeting...

Why isn’t the press all over Calciopoli 2? The exact same people that controlled the major Italian papers and TV stations in 2006 maintain control today through RCS Media Group (Gazzetta, Corriere, etc.), Mediaset, and LA7. Considering who would stands to gain and who would stands to lose in...

Another theme I read a few times was the “I don’t think we cheated, I don’t think we deserved to be relegated or stripped of titles…but Moggi was dirty”. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but opinions like these are cop outs because it sounds like a person who wants to make...

One common theme I kept reading in the thread was the all innocent vs. all guilty argument and which would be better. I’m not sure how relevant it is anymore. It was one of many Moggi quotes that simply took flight and now people think that the judges will have to either absolve those who were...

Mark you’ve done well to keep the updates in the thread. Unfortunately they just don’t say much anymore which is why I stopped writing for a bit. I’ve been waiting for something definitive but all we keep reading is the same old. Since the trials recommenced in the fall we’ve heard a few more...
