Italian prosecutors have asked to dismiss a sports fraud case against Gianluca Rocchi, the former referee designator for Italy's Serie A and Serie B leagues. Rocchi was under investigation for alleged complicity in sporting fraud related to referee assignments for four matches, including a Serie A game between Torino and Inter Milan during the recent season. He stepped down from his position in April to allow legal proceedings to proceed, stating he believed he would emerge 'unscathed.' After a two-year investigation, prosecutors found no evidence of match-fixing or a structured system interfering with referee appointments. However, they have sent the case files to sports justice authorities and the Italian Olympic Committee's General Prosecutor's Office to determine if any disciplinary violations might have occurred.
