Inquiry by the arbitrators, pm Milan ask for the archiving for Rocchi

The Milan Prosecutor's Office has requested the closure of the investigation into Gianluca Rocchi, a former referee assigner under inquiry for alleged involvement in sports fraud related to the assignment of referees in four matches, including Torino-Inter from the recently concluded season. After two years of investigation, prosecutors concluded there was no evidence of collusion, though they forwarded the case files to sports justice authorities and the General Prosecution of CONI for further evaluation. The probe also looked into alleged 'knocks' at the Lissone VAR room. Additionally, the Milan Prosecutor's Office has requested the closure of the investigation involving Inter, which had been recently registered under the law on administrative liability of entities. Prosecutors previously accused Rocchi of having 'manipulated' referee assignments in collaboration with unnamed individuals from the Inter football club. In their request to close the case, prosecutors acknowledged isolated instances of interference but did not find evidence of a systematic fraud scheme.

The Milan prosecutor's office also wants Rocchi's case dismissed.

The Milan prosecutors have decided to close the investigation into four football matches, including Torino-Inter, after two years of inquiry. They concluded there was no organized fraud but acknowledged individual instances of interference. The case against Gianluca Rocchi, a former referee, and the Inter club has been archived, though the files were sent to federal authorities for possible disciplinary review. The prosecutors emphasized that while isolated incidents occurred, they did not constitute a systemic scheme. The Inter club was also investigated under administrative responsibility laws.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the legal proceedings, focusing on the findings of the prosecutors without overtly favoring any political stance. It reports on the closure of the investigation and the distinction between individual actions and systemic fraud, without taking a clear side.

Investigation of arbitrators, the Prosecutor requests archiving for Rocchi: "No system to interfere with the appointments".

The Italian prosecutors' office in Milan has requested the dismissal of former referee Gianluca Rocchi, who was investigated for sports fraud in collaboration with unidentified members of the Inter club. The investigation initially targeted the club under Article 8 of Law 231, which holds administrators responsible for arbitrators' misconduct, but the case was already archived. Four matches involving Inter were scrutinized, while incidents related to physical assaults on the VAR room in Lissone were transferred to the Monza prosecutor’s office. The case, initiated late last year and involving five suspects, including Rocchi, has been forwarded to federal prosecutors. Prosecutors argue there is no evidence of a systematic scheme to influence referee appointments, distinguishing this from more serious fraudulent acts affecting individual matches. The club's involvement was recently added, and the case is being reviewed by both federal authorities and a parliamentary anti-mafia commission.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the legal proceedings and findings without overt ideological slant. It reports on the prosecution's decision to dismiss the case against Rocchi based on available evidence, emphasizing the lack of systemic interference rather than attributing blame to any specific political or '
