Scommessopoli : 2009-2010 betting Scandal in Italy (yes, this again :sergio:) (61 Viewers)
- Thread starter Fake Melo
- Start date
FIGC is involved, of course, and it's the exact same prosecutor as in 2006. Palazzi.
I'm slightly nervous too, because it's Italy, and it's FIGC, but I think this is gonna pass. There has only been talk of some dude who "claims" Conte knew about something, but how does one prove such a thing?
"Hey, I know what went on in another guys head!"
That's not exactly evidence.

Conte, Bonucci and Pepe under investigation. Risking from 4 to 8 months suspension.

Ok, before we go all mental over here. What do we know up until now? We know that the only "evidence" they have on Conte is a really vague sms asking whether or not he could be "contacted or not". I expect him to be cleared.
If Bonucci and Pepe is involved, and they get, say 4 or 5 months (which is unlikely, I have yet to hear of any evidence against these two), then I'm sure this is something we can cope with.
F*ck FIGC and Palazzi for trying to ruin everything again. Seriously, F*CK them! But they won't do it this time!

This time though, it would effectively end Serie A's existence. Calciopoli was so ridiculous that many many Italians have questioned it afterwards and this is all very fuzzy and reeks of being a set up. I wonder what they'll do, as it'll end professional Italian football if they try and involve big teams.
Juve, having been through Calciopoli, should be prepared and on the look out. No reason to be caught off guard by anything this time around.
If Conte was in real trouble I imagine they would have been looking to arrest him rather than just search his house.
What evidence of match fixing were they expecting to find in these raids? Just wanting to seize mobile phones and computers or are they expecting to find receipts for bought matches? Or did they just go for high profile figures to show they are serious - raiding the Juve Coach and a current Italian international?
One assumes there is hard evidence against the likes of Mauri if he has been arrested.
Criscito and Conte are likely to be a step away from that in that they are close to clubs/games were match-fixing is believed to have gone on, but the authorities don't have any firm evidence against them at this stage.
I'd feel a bit sorry for Criscito if he is innocent and misses the Euros because of this.
