Overview
- VAR supervisor Andrea Gervasoni underwent a four-hour interrogation Thursday and denied knocking on a VAR-room window to get a Salernitana–Modena penalty overturned.
- He said he was in a different Lissone building monitoring Serie A matches and filed floor plans and match media to support that account.
- Prosecutors allege a 50–60 second gap in the Inter–Roma VAR audio, which Gervasoni rejected while calling the non-awarded penalty an error by the VAR team rather than interference.
- Separate reporting says an April 2, 2025 San Siro wiretap captured designator Gianluca Rocchi citing Inter’s club referee manager, Giorgio Schenone, in a discussion about referee preferences, with Schenone not under investigation and the “preferred/not preferred” labels described as the prosecutor’s summary rather than quoted words.
- Rocchi has received a formal notice of investigation and stepped aside, the inquiry opened in October 2024 continues, and sport-justice bodies could move on lower proof standards with penalties for individuals or point deductions for clubs if wrongdoing is proven.
