There is a documentary series on Netflix called Bad Sport that has an episode on the Calciopoli scandal, with a focus on Moggi.
Has anyone seen it?
I watched it yesterday, it's ok. They didn't build a completely one-sided picture of "bad Juventus" or "bad Moggi", but it was still very one-sided. They mentioned stuff like "match fixing was never proved, only pressuring of refs" and "Moggi and Juve weren't the only ones involved", but of course I would've liked for them to explore it more, as it raises serious questions about the legitimacy about Inters paper Scudetto (if they were doing the exact same thing) and whether the punishment for Juventus handed out by FIGC was balanced with Juve's role in the scandal.
The prosecutor and investigator presented the case with three assumptions - Moggi buried refs that made decisions against Juventus, Moggi picked favorable refs for Juve games and Moggi orchestrated yellow cards for teams that had to face Juve in the next round in order for them to have suspended players. Yet in the series they didn't provide any additional insight for this - how many refs had their career destroyed by Moggi, how many refs whistled in Juves favor, was it statistically noticeable and why they weren't sentenced, how many players were suspended against Juventus and was it an anomaly compared to other teams.
Was also interesting to see from the perspective of the prosecutor and the investigator. I didn't believe them for one second when they said that the leak to the press was unintentional. But it was interesting to try to put myself in their shoes, if I worked a case for 2-3 years, had the guy by the balls and he came out with a defense that he wasn't the only one, I probably wouldn't care much either.
