RE: Inter's tentacles face the final stress test

in #sports16 hours ago (edited)

The Calciopoli trial concluded, after three levels of jurisdiction, with a number of established facts:

  • No league match was fixed;
  • The behaviour of Inter’s directors was worse than that of Juventus’s directors, but the wiretaps remained hidden for five years – just long enough for the statute of limitations to run out.

From that day on, Italian football changed forever. The true story of Calciopoli is not the one they told, but another: those who never won (Moratti and Inter) sought a pretext to get rid of their rivals.
Today, the picture that is emerging is far more serious: a web of corruption has formed around Inter, involving the mafia, politics, finance and sport.
But this has always been Inter’s story: a club accustomed to resorting to any means, to rigging everything just to win.
