Inter title race overshadowed as Serie A refereeing scandal erupts

Gianluca Rocchi, head of Italy's top football refereeing body CAN, has suspended himself after being placed under investigation for complicity in sporting fraud. The prosecutor alleges Rocchi agreed to assign specific officials for certain Inter games and inappropriately intervened in VAR decisions. Inter and their directors are not under investigation. The scandal echoes Calciopoli, though lawyers note this involves far fewer people. With Inter likely to seal the Serie A title this weekend, the controversy threatens to overshadow the title celebration.

Italian Referee Selector Gianluca Rocchi Suspends Himself Amid Fraud Investigation

Gianluca Rocchi, Italy's top referee selector for Serie A and Serie B, has self-suspended following a Milan Public Prosecutor's Office investigation into alleged sporting fraud during the 2024-25 season. The 52-year-old former international referee, facing a preliminary hearing Thursday, denies wrongdoing and claims he'll emerge stronger. Andrea Gervasoni, VAR supervisor for Italy's top two divisions, has also suspended himself. Allegations include selecting referees favored by Inter Milan and pressuring VAR officials in specific matches.
