Inter Not Under Investigation As Prosecution Seeks To Identify Accomplices In Serie A Scandal
The prosecution alleges Rocchi manipulated referee designations, including assigning Daniele Doveri, described as unwelcome to Inter’s hierarchy, to the Coppa Italia semi-final return leg. The alleged purpose was to shield Doveri from officiating more important Nerazzurri matches.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport note a significant contradiction. Doveri refereed Parma vs Inter just three days after the alleged San Siro meeting where the arrangement was supposedly agreed.
