The ‘Cassazione’ verdict on the infamous Calciopoli scandal, initially expected for Thursday, has been postponed until March 23.

The match-fixing scandal which hit the Italian game in 2006 related to the favourable assignment of referee to Serie A matches over a number of years, involving clubs such as Juventus and AC Milan, with the Bianconeri’s general manager Luciano Moggi seen as the main instigator.

Cassazione is the third and last degree of the Italian Justice system after which the given verdict is final, and Moggi has always claimed that the charges against him are false and he should be cleared of any wrong doing.

As a result of Calciopoli, Juventus were relegated to Serie B and given a hefty points deduction.

    Farsopoli 2006 was Lapresa around the Italians in 2006, who want the truth “like it or not” to someone in Milan ……….. was right Grandmaster Enzo Biagi …… ….. Great example and model of journalism “:
    “A judgment crazy, and not because football is a clean environment. A ruling crazy because built on nothing, on wiretapping difficult to interpret and not be proposed in a process worthy of the name, a judgment crazy because punishes who was guilty only of living in a certain environment, all seasoned with a process which was a remake of the Inquisition in a modern way. And I wonder: cui bono? who benefits from it all? Why all came out at a given time? Just when, between Laziogate of Storace, the blacklist of Telecom, then Calciopoli, then the former King of Italy and now, last but not least, the phone company Vodafone has reported that Telecom for having tapped his clients. Want to see it to cover one scandal of gigantic dimensions identified in Luciano Moggi bad to feed the populace? “:
