for me berlsuconi is a mafiosi. he is part of organised crime. all the laws he changed for himself just that he has not to go into prison are a shame.

nevertheless we have to look at us and how we will get out of the bad situation we are going through.
most of italy is mafia, only with juve we are milan's escape route, passing the buck on us!

wenever poor refereeing occurs in a juve game everyone cries foul play, but refs dont get to see what we do in terms of action replays, and with pressure from fans, being a ref is not as simple as most make it out to be.

But whenever its milan or inter... its ok, for example those 2 penos against roma last weekend, if that was juve winning those peno's the whole of italy wud be in uproar about how juve cheated. but as its milan, berlusconi ensures its all kept hush hush, because whatever he publishes, those brainwashed italian robots will believe him.

Buffon scandal: Malta company says it is clean


Betclass Ltd, the Maltese company involved in the Italian football betting scandal in which Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is implicated, declared that there is nothing irregular in its football betting activities.

On Monday, maltastar.com reported that Italian authorities would be looking into Buffon’s betting with a Malta company. Italian law prohibits professional footballers from gambling. When this e-newspaper contacted the company, Betclass Ltd, a spokesperson said that in reply to our questions, a press release would be issued on the company’s own site. Three days later, the statement was issued on the Italian version of Betclass’s website.

Betclass defends itself

In the statement, accompanied by a photo of Gianluigi Buffon sitting by his goalpost, Betclass washed its hands clean of the case.

Mr Marco Ripamonti, the company’s lawyer, wrote: “Betclass Ltd will not give out the list of the professional footballers amongst its users and after analysing the betting records, it has resulted that there is nothing that can be regarded as abnormal or suspicious.”

Sources close to the company told this newspaper that the Parma prosecution authorities have not yet contacted Betclass Ltd. Italian newspapers had reported that the investigators looking into the sports betting by four football players are preparing to request permission to view the accounts of the companies involved, including the Maltese-registered, but foreign-owned, Betclass Ltd. This company holds offices in Malta.

No contact yet

Other sources also told maltastar.com that when such a cross border investigation is required, the Italian investigators will have to seek the Maltese government’s permission before looking into the Maltese company’s books. “But Maltese authorities have not yet been contacted”.

The scandal that rocked Italian football a few weeks before the World Cup finals was extensively reported on Italian media. Reports accounted how Gianluigi Buffon, Italy’s number one goalie, placed his bets through an agent in Parma, Roberto Barbieri. When interviewed, Barbieri said that he received the footballer’s requests via sms. “I sent [Buffon’s] money to a Maltese company, Betclass”.

Editorial Note

Following maltastar.com’s report on this scandal on Monday, lots of Maltese football fans sent us e-mails expressing concern about the fate of their beloved team Juventus.

Yet, Italian football fans can put their minds at ease. Gianluigi Buffon has been included in the Italian mister’s squad that will travel to Germany for the World Cup finals. A very similar scandal hit the Italy World Cup squad years back. In 1982, to be exact. To all Italian football fans out there – get wise, and check out who took the World Cup home that year

I think that Buffon had to answer to Parma's judges and his were (it seems) legal bets (tennis, horses and matches of other leagues).

Of course no newspaper cared to gossip about this list, like they are gossiping on us. :rolleyes2
