Five most iconic moments under Massimo Moratti for Inter Milan

2) Alleged Involvement in the Calciopoli scandal

Juventus football supporters display a banner reading ‘Respect, Justice, Honesty, that’s why we are here’ against football club Inter Milan outside the Naples court palace on April 13, 2010 as former Juventus Football Club general manager Luciano Moggi (unseen) is set to face a court case over his alleged involvement in a 2006 corruption scandal

While initially not included in the list of teams that were primarily indicted in the 2006 Calciopoli scandal in Italy, further developments later of indicated that Inter might not have been as innocent as it was first thought. Moratti had vehemently denied any wrongdoings on Inter’s part in the 2006 scandal, and the media had no proof to state otherwise. It was a year later, in 2007, that the first signs of smoke appeared. Wiretappings were published that had former coach Marcello Lippi on tape saying that Moratti(owner) and Mancini(then trainer) must be made to pay. This, of course, was inconclusive in and of itself.

In 2010, further wiretappings were presented in the Calciopoli trial in Naples that showed that AC Milan and Inter Milan executives were also involved. The tape named Adriano Galliani of Milan, and Moratti and Giacinto Facchetti of Inter. Matters got worse in 2011 when the Inter leaders were alleged to have committed fraud, and were being closely scrutinised. But, citing insufficient proof and and the fact that “no court could confirm this allegations since all facts are covered by statute of limitation”, Inter were ultimately let off the hook.
