Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye. I doubt that Moggi is clean. He was not acquitted of a single charge by any court. Its a bit of a stretch to think that the supreme court is bought too by Moratti and Berlusconi. Others should have been punished too but now I don't think Moggi was innocent.
He was definitely a bit dodgy but if you take someone to court, find no evidence, and your conclusions are "aye pet, he was very powerful and conditioned everybody" is a bit of a weak outcome of the trial especially if you considered that:
- the tobacconist who supposidely sold the swiss SIMs has been sentenced for purgery and he admitted he simply told the italian police "what they wanted to hear";
- Of the 37 referees, only one has been sentenced, De Sanctis, with whom we had a disastrous record (4 defeats in one season, something unheard of in these days and with that team);
- Moggi overwhelming power on media was limited to 2 (yes, two) journalists from Processo del Lunedi, a show that was broadcasted on RAI3 that wasn't even visible in the whole country and used to have an average of 300,000 viewers;
- Paparesta was never closed in the changing room, as he admitted himself. Paparesta was at the time employed by Fininvest, no need to remind you who Fininvest owns;
- Moggi was talking to the Referees boss like everybody else did; infact Juve didn't get the article 6 punishment as it was perfectly legal to talk to the referees bosses. It was not legal talking directly to referees, something done by Inter who infact got article 6 (which would have meant serie C) in the trial against Inter that was written off because of statute of limitations.
- All the players that in the Calciopoli trial were shown as been red carded or yellow carded in a presumed attempt by Moggi to prevent from playing against Juve, were infact all on the pitch against Juve except for Jankulowski of Udinese who actually punched an opponent on the face in a free-for-all that started after the game, so a suspension was rather inevitable;
- the referee's draw that was supposed to be manipulated was regular; what turned out to be manipulated was the video that once they found out had been manipulated misteriously disappeared; the policeman who broguht the tape as evidence had previosuly been found guilty in a completely different trial of manipulating evidence and had been sentenced for that. He is the same policeman who was taped in Palermo on the site of the bomb explosion that killed Judge Borsellino and was seen walking away with the Judge's personal briefcase, containing his famous "red agenda" that disappeared.
So, was Moggi a saint? No.
But all of the above should have raised a few eyebrows even on non-Juve fan. Infact you will find that some journalists who are declared anti-Juventini like Sconcerti, Beha, Ravazzani who have tried to talk about this .... and Sconcerti got quite sick with Moratti during a Sky show and said "Moratti should have the decency to shut the f-u-c-k up considering he got away with murder and if he had some morality, must have given the 2005-2006 scudetto back after the trial where they would have been relegated to Serie C"
