This was a decent read...
Calciopoli Explained
Yes they were framed, let me spend a moment and break it down:
The characters:
Antonio Giraudo - Director at Juventus (Part of the media dubbed "Triade")
Luciano Moggi - Director at Juventus (Part of the media dubbed "Triade")
Roberto Bettega - Director at Juventus (Part of the media dubbed "Triade")
Massimo Moratti - President of Inter Milan
Guido Rossi - The judge in charge of the Calciopoli trials
Telecom Italia - Telephone/Mobile service provider in Italy
Pairetto - Serie A Referee Designator (In charge of choosing referees for games)
Bergamo - Serie A and Champions League Referee Designator (In charge of choosing referees for games)
Giacinto Facchetti - Then Inter General Director (Deceased)
In May of 2006, Telecom Italia leaked telephone transcripts to all the newspapers in Italy of conversations between Luciano Moggi and Pairetto & Bergamo. The conversations revealed that Moggi would call them and say things like:
"What the hell kind of referee was that? That was clearly a penalty! You're man is blind, you better give us a good referee in the next game"
"Who is our referee in the next game? What!! he is horrible!"
and in one case "I want Referee X for the next game." This was a summer friendly that meant nothing. It wasn't a league or cup match.
This was a shock that a club director was calling a referee designator.
But what Telecom Italia didn't leak to the media was the conversations between Fachetti (Inter Director) and Bergamo. In fact in a Sky interview Bergamo openly admitted that no delegate called him more than Facchetti. There is even one conversation where Fachetti is asking Pairetto for a good referee for a game vs Valencia in the Q-Finals of the Champions League after they had lost the first leg. Why wasn't this leaked to the papers?
Moggi was accused of selecting referees.
Moggi was accused of fixing matches.
Moggi was accused of giving Maseratis to referees.
Lets now look at Guido Rossi. Guido Rossi was the Vice-President of Telecom Italia. Guido Rossi was a board member of Pirelli. Massimo Moratti is the president of Inter. Massimo Moratti is a board member of Telecom Italia. Massimo Moratti is very close friends with Guido Rossi.
After the phone transcripts the head of the Italian Federation was forced to resign (Franco Carraro). Guess who was appointed as the new head of the Italian Football Federation? None other than Guido Rossi.
Guido Rossi's first task was sending Juventus and several other clubs (Milan, Fiorentina, Parma etc.) to a trial where the judge was none other than GUIDO ROSSI!
A man that has no experience in football is installed as the head of the FA and as the judge in the biggest scandal in Italian Sport history!
The trials lasted a few weeks. You know how much time Juventus were given to defend themselves and to argue their case? 45 minutes. In a trial that lasted weeks, they were given 45 minutes! The Juve lawyers asked that the telephone transcripts be played in court so that they can argue that the proof is very weak. The Judge (Guido Rossi) refused the request! The reason this whole scandal erupted was the phone transcripts. The biggest evidence used to accuse Juve was the phone transcripts and not even one minute was played for the court to hear!
Guido Rossi ended the trials by convicting Juve of "Unsportsmanship"! What the hell does that mean!
The only match that was proved to be fixed was a Parma vs Fiorentina match that helped Fiorentina escape relegation.
Juve, Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina were demoted to Serie B. Days later Milan, Lazio & Fiorentina were reinstated in serie A. And Juve's negative 30 points in Serie B were reduced to 17.
Juve obviously outraged at the mockery of the trials threatened to take the matter to Civil Courts (Real Court of Law, where the Law is properly applied).
But UEFA and FIFA forbid Government intervention in football and if Juve had taken the matter to Civil Courts, Serie A would have been put on a hold. All Italian Clubs would have been banned from European competitions and the National team would have been banned from qualifying for Euro 2008. In other words Italian football would have come to a grinding halt.
Two hours before Juve were supposed to take the matter to the Civil Court, Juve surprisingly withdrew their appeal and "surprisingly" days later Juve's 17 point penalty were reduced to 9 points.
After the trials were over and the new seasons had started, the Italian Federation realized that Guido Rossi's position as President and his affiliation with Inter Milan and Massimo Moratti was deemed as conflict of interest and he was asked to step down. A little too late, the damage was done.
Guido Rossi was rewarded for his hard work to return to Telecom Italia as Vice President.
I know it's a long read, but if you read it it will make much more sense. Calciopoli or Farsopoli was a joke. It was an attempt to stop the dominance of Juve and Milan and shift it to Inter.
Oh by the way, the next two seasons in Serie A (when things are "clean"), there was a study done by Cambridge University that Referee Errors were at an all time high with Inter Milan being the biggest beneficiaries of these "errors".
In 2008 Gazetta Dello Sport an Italian Sports Newspaper released a table that showed that if there were no Referee Errors, Inter would have been 4th instead of 1st and Juve would have been 1st instead of 3rd.
In 2009 they did the same thing and revealed that Milan should have won the league if it wasnt for referee errors and not Inter.
