The Italian FA investigated the incident.

Nevertheless, the matter would not rest.

There was something of a media firestorm regarding the alleged blasphemous outburst.

Moreover, a group of Juventus supporters filed an official complaint. This restarted the investigation into Martinez’s outburst.

There was even a risk that Martinez could face a one-match suspension had the Italian FA conclusively determined that he had used blasphemous language.

However, in the end Martinez has settled with the Italian FA.

The Inter captain will pay a €5000 fine. And that brings the matter to a close.
