‼️ Refereeing scandal, Marotta stunned and silent! What do Inter risk?

A new sports scandal is rocking Italian football. Since yesterday, the referee selector for Serie A and Serie B, Gianluca Rocchi, has been under investigation for sports fraud, accused of intervening in an incident during Udinese-Parma and, even more seriously, of having chosen referees favorable to Inter for the league match Bologna-Inter and the Coppa Italia clash Inter-Milan. In all cases, these are matches from last season.

The earthquake has led to Rocchi suspending himself, followed by VAR supervisor Andrea Gervasoni.

Already yesterday, federal prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè asked the Milan public prosecutor for the investigation files, and on April 30 he will question Rocchi.

Inter’s position

The question everyone is asking now is one: What does Inter risk? Well, at the moment nothing, because no executives, registered members, or employees of the club on Viale della Liberazione are involved in or under investigation in the case.

In fact, Inter — La Gazzetta dello Sport reports — was said to be stunned by yesterday’s news, both because the club is being dragged into the matter over two matches badly lost by Inzaghi’s team at the time, and because the “top secret” meeting to decide the referee for the two matches in question allegedly took place at San Siro, during the first leg of the Coppa Italia derby and therefore in a sold out Meazza. In short, not exactly the perfect place to organize a secret meeting.

Inter says it is calm. The Nerazzurri have made no official statement on the matter and, according to what has emerged, no executive will appear for pre-match interviews today before the 6 p.m. game against Torino.

La Gazzetta also points out that the Nerazzurri did not overlook one detail in the complaint letter by Domenico Rocca, which sparked the entire investigation: the Gervasoni to intervene during , when a penalty was not awarded to the Nerazzurri for Ndicka’s clear holding of Bisseck. Rocca asks why Gervasoni intervened to change the referee’s decision in Salernitana-Modena but did not do so in Inter-Roma.
