Moggi Blames Galliani for Corruption Scandal

After almost 2 weeks of intensive accusations, court hearings and search warrants, Luciano Moggi finally decided to get his story out in the media, by setting up an interview with the sole purpose of telling the truth about the corruption scandal in which he is the main suspect. Upset for the fact that a number of allegations were made upon him, and as he considerers himself innocent all the way, Moggi started his offensive towards his homologue from AC Milan - and Italian Football League President - Adriano Galliani.

Galliani is being accused for starting this whole scandal on purpose, as a revenge weapon against Moggi: "All I know is that I have been ambushed and stabbed in the back in a way that I could never have imagined. I've met with Berlusconi last year, because he wanted to offer me a job. Two weeks after my meeting with Berlusconi the documents from the Turin investigation, with the telephone intercepts featuring myself and other people in the game, arrived at the Football Federation. Evidently Galliani suggested that Berlusconi should be very careful before making certain choices and that maybe it was not the best idea to insist on taking me on given that there were investigations".

He continued, referring to the scandal in the Italian football: "I, like my other colleagues, wanted only to assure myself that referees who were enemies of Juventus did not take the field and that all the matches would be taken charge of by serious professionals, who were good and above all impartial. I will tell you one thing - for years, every day of the week, the refereeing selectors received calls from the presidents and directors of clubs at all levels, starting from (AC Milan official Leonardo) Meani and (Inter Milan President Giacinto) Facchetti. It wasn't me who invented this football, it is the system that has always worked like this".

As for the latest that happened in the Serie A scandal, Lazio and Fiorentina are now facing allegations about their involvement in corrupt refereeing. If found guilty, they might be punished in the same way as Juventus, with relegation in the Serie B.
