The scandal that has rocked Italian football has taken another turn today as the homes of former Juve managers have been searched. Among allegations of match fixing and illegal betting,
the searches come a mere two days after former Italian senator Guido Rossi was appointed as extraordinary commissioner of the Italian soccer federation and pledged to clean up the sport.
Four clubs are currently under investigation Juventus, Lazio, AC Milan and Fiorentina for match fixing, with numerous big name players being touted as possible suspects.
The homes of Luciano Moggi and former managing director Antonio Giraudo were among those searched along with the Turin offices of Juventus.
All together more than 40 people have been accused and ordered by Naples prosecutors to appear for questioning for suspected criminal association.
If found guilty the clubs in question could be relegated and have any silverware stripped.
