Figo, Inter fined by disciplinary commission
MILAN, Italy (AP) - Inter Milan's Portugal midfielder Luis Figo was fined €5,000 ($6,156) for alleging that an Juventus official met with the referee ahead of February's league match between the teams.
Inter, which lost 2-1, was fined the same amount.
The Italian league's disciplinary commission fined Figo because he could not support his claims about the "forbidden" meeting before kickoff. Referee Gianluca Paparesta and Juventus officials both denied the meeting took place.
Figo, who claimed he had been misunderstood by the media, escaped the maximum punishment of suspension.
