"Rocchi is under investigation for two things: pressuring VAR to award a penalty in a certain game and assigning 'favourable' referees to Inter games."
"Secret meetings have been held between Rocchi and Inter to determine which referees the Nerazzurri like and don't like, after which the former made his picks."
"The next step will be the preliminary hearing on Thursday, April 30, when Rocchi will have to answer before the Prosecutor's Office in Milan."
"Depending on the outcome, there could be disastrous effects for Italian football, as there could almost be a Calciopoli 2.0."
Gianluca Rocchi, responsible for Serie A referee assignments, is under investigation for sporting fraud, including pressuring VAR for penalties and favoring referees for Inter. Secret meetings allegedly occurred between Rocchi and Inter regarding referee preferences. Rocchi and VAR supervisor Andrea Gervasoni have suspended themselves from duty. A preliminary hearing is set for April 30, with potential severe consequences for Italian football, including the possibility of a special administration for FIGC amid ongoing chaos.
