Luciano Moggi: Calciopoli Never Existed
Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi claims Calciopoli never existed and there was never any match fixing.
By Salvatore Landolina
Luciano Moggi insists the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal never existed, and he is fighting to prove that claim in the trial of Naples.
Juventus believe they have legal grounds to launch an appeal to have their revoked Scudetti back and they are waiting for the FIGC to open an inquiry into the on-going proceeds of the Tribunal of Naples.
Moggi has uncovered a patchwork of evidence at the trial in which he and his legal team have shown a number of clubs spoke to referees and designators.
And he is adamant that Calciopoli never existed, and, it could have all been avoided had Juventus taken the right steps to defend themselves during the initial conflict four years ago.
"People have tried to give me a different image to what I am. Those who trust certain newspapers see me as a guilty man of a system which never existed. And yet they go on," Moggi wrote in his Tuttomercatoweb.com column.
"But they need to be careful. The winds are now changing and they risk catching a cold.
"In terms of the revoked Scudetti, it's an old problem. Juventus have a right, but it was not defended when they could and should have asked for the reassignment. They just needed to appeal back then and it would have changed history.
"Juventus would not have been relegated if they appealed. People are starting to see who was right and who was wrong after four years.
"We never told anyone 'let us win games', but others did."
