Overview
- Gianluca Rocchi and his deputy Andrea Gervasoni were the focus of a Milan probe into alleged attempts to influence who referees Serie A matches, and prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss the criminal case.
- The inquiry found no sign of a systematic plot to pick or exclude match officials, a conclusion that led to the immediate dismissal of proceedings against Inter after the club was briefly placed in the register of suspects.
- Parts of the evidence that relate to conduct inside the VAR operations room were transferred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Monza for further examination of Luigi Nasca and Stefano Di Vuono, while Daniele Paterna remains under review in Milan.
- Copies of the case file were provided to the FIGC federal prosecutor and to CONI so sporting regulators can decide whether any disciplinary or rule breaches warrant an administrative process.
- Rocchi had voluntarily stepped down as referee designator during the probe and was replaced first by Dino Tommasi and later by Daniele Orsato, a personnel change that leaves Italian refereeing governance under closer scrutiny.
