Inter president Massimo Moratti convinced important shareholder and lifelong Interista, Tronchetti – chairman at Telecom Italia and TIM – to illegally record conversations with rival delegates that were to be handed over to Moratti. Tronchetti’s tyre company, Pirelli also happens to be Inter’s main sponsor.
The intention was to hand the tapes over to magistrates to start an investigation against rival clubs. A policeman by the name of Adamo Bove declared the tapes as legit so that they could be used as evidence in court (he committed suicide on July 21 2006). The magistrates in Turin, Rome and Naples found no wrong doing on the tapes.
Since the first plan had not gone as intended, the recordings were handed in pieces to the press in which Inter had invested in (Corriere dello Sport, Contro Campo, Messagero and la Gazzetta dello Sport – also known as la Gazzetta dell’inter by rival fans). The media frenzy that followed forced FIGC (the Italian football federation) to launch an investigation.
Juvenus could have appealed for no wrong doing but FIFA would have froze The TIM Serie until The case cleared so Juventus took the fall. C'mon all the other clubs get punished but Inter and a club that came in third gets Scudettos heh Thats BS.
