Sent away from football? Pado, Moggi is facing 5 (five) years in jail.
These aren't requested by the "sports justice", which we can agree is a bit of a joke, but by the ordinary justice. Considering the über slowness of the system, and the fact that if you have enough money you can try and prolonge the trial until it falls under statute of limitations, the cheeky bastard might actually never see a cell. But that won't make him less guilty. Or do we think that Berlusca is not guilty (who on top of unlimited cash even has the option of re-writing the law)?
That other great man Giraudo, for his part, has chosen another path : that of the "patteggiamento". I.e., aware of how blatantly incriminating the evidence is, he has asked for a "fast-track procedure". In Italy, this option is, by all means, an admission of guilt. Though one that comes with benefits, as choosing it earns you an automatic reduction of the sentence by one third. And so it has been : Giraudo was sentenced to 3 years, against which he has of course appealed, while disappearing from the public eye by starting a new life in London.
Now this new scandal has only just started. The presence of a camorra boss at the stadium is worrying to say the least. On the other hand, the wiretaps so far published don't show any evidence of big names being involved (big active names that is, tho a certain Beppe Signori is currently under house arrest). At this stage, it sounds to me like a bunch of losers making stupid bets and acting like wannabe tough guys to make up for their own fuck-ups, as many of said bets didn't seem to go their way.
We'll see. But please don't play the nauseating victim card like the bimbiminkia's of Juventuz.
Moggi was the head of a criminal system, one that beats every other such system established in Italian football, which says something (see also Italo Allodi or the totonero).
Moggi must pay, and I'll go even further by saying this : if the team involved had not been Juventus, with its 20 million fans across the Peninsula, with the unofficial Italian Royal Family as its owner, with the further damage and embarrassment this would have caused Italian football on the international scene, today Juventus FC would simply not exist anymore, and the Agnelli would be banned from football for the next 8 generations.
Now has the shit stopped because Moggi & co have been extirpated?
Er no.
But has the mafia ceased existing since Riina and Provenzano were captured?
Has narcotraffic stopped after Pablo Escobar was shot?
Did the smell go away this morning after I flushed the toilet?
Edit : I've just realized that in fact you may have not been defending Moggi there. Still, glad I got that off my chest
