Inter in the thick of it?! Serie A rocked by refereeing scandal | OneFootball

In Italy, the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office has been investigating a potential referee scandal in Serie A since today, in which Inter Milan may also be involved.

Serie A and B referee appointments chief Gianluca Rocchi and VAR head Andrea Gervasoni resigned yesterday out of nowhere. Before that, Italian media had reported on possible match-fixing involving Rocchi.

The accusation: for the league matches Bologna vs. Inter and the Coppa Italia match Inter vs. Milan, he is said to have deliberately selected referees who favored Inter. All of the matches concerned took place last season. Rocchi is also said to have influenced the league match Udinese vs. Parma.

The Nerazzurri have not yet issued an official statement on the matter. According to “Gazzetta dello Sport,” however, they are surprised by the accusations, especially since they lost both of the matches in question.

Rocchi is expected to be questioned about the allegations on April 30.
