Italian FA president, Giancarlo Abate, has sensationally hinted that Inter Milan should hand back the 2006 Serie A Scudetto to rivals Juventus, on the basis of ethics.

The FIGC revealed on Monday that there were no legal ground to revoke the title from the Nerazzurri, despite newly found evidence that was not incorporated into the initial Calciopoli trial five years ago.

As a result, there was nothing the FIGC could have done, although Abate is hopeful that Inter will eventually make the right decision.

“I hoped that Inter would’ve foregone the statute of limitations in this case,” Abate explained in a press conference, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“There is no statute of limitations on ethics. We had to stick to the rules. If the rules do not satisfy some, then that is out of our hands.”

The Bianconeri are expected to appeal the decision, and take the matter to the high courts, in order to avenge the severe punishments they received that damaged their reputation and that of the Italian game.
