Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi recently commented on the Calciopoli crisis and revealed he was tipped off about a potential wiretap by former AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi before the results of the investigations were out.
Moggi was the face of Juventus in the case, which saw the Bianconeri get relegated to Serie B and stripped of some league titles.
The black and whites are in legal trouble again, which has brought about talks about the Calciopoli scandal and there are fears they could suffer a severe punishment like in 2006.
However, the club maintained its innocence and Moggi hopes it does not happen. He recalled some parts of the Calciopoli scandal and revealed via Calciomercato:
“I met Berlusconi and he said to me: look there are interceptions but there is nothing criminal … so the problem does not arise”.
Juve FC Says
The Calciopoli was a dark period in our history; it is one time we do not want to remember, nor do we want a reoccurrence of that again.
Hopefully, the current legal battles will not be as big as that scandal, regardless of the investigation’s outcome.
It is very important that our current players stay focused on the task at hand and win as many matches as possible.
As a TRUE JUVENTUS fan for 53 years I disassociate myself with the views expressed here by “so-called JUVE FC SAYS”.
FARSOPOLI in 2006 was a sinister evil event in Italian football history when INTERNAZIONALE FC , assorted institutional characters close to INTER set up an evil plan to destroy the best team in iTALY. They ALMOST managed it, even with the help of TELEKOM Italia and TRONCHETTI PROVERA . Even INTER players were being spied upon ( ask VIERI). SHAME .
38 sul campo.
“The Calciopoli was a dark period in our history; it is one time we do not want to remember, nor do we want a reoccurrence of that again.”
I sense that the author thinks it was the clubs fault or the managament of the times fault but I tell you it was not. I have been a fan since the 95/96 season watching every Serie A, and B, game, and Calciopoli was a farse. Juve did not do any thing different from what the other clubs did, and was encouraged to do by the the federation. Inter on the do other hand did much more, but time had experied for any of it to be tried in court. I tell you there are people who have very dirty hans in this matter, and there was great unjust towards Juventus.
