Milan prosecutors have requested that the investigation into alleged pressure on football referees, particularly former referee appointments chief Gianluca Rocchi, by people linked to Inter be closed. Prosecutor Maurizio Ascione concluded that, although isolated instances of interference with referee appointments had been established, investigators found no organized system intended to influence appointments and commit sporting fraud. Inter had been entered in the register of suspects as a corporate entity under Law 231 on corporate administrative liability. The case against the club was closed after investigators ruled out the underlying offense of sporting fraud. Rocchi's position is also expected to be dismissed. The former appointments chief expressed satisfaction with the outcome. Wiretapped conversations obtained by prosecutors and reported by the press document calls between Rocchi and AIA officials, including Riccardo Pinzani, who handled relations with clubs, and deputy official Andrea Gervasoni. One conversation from mid-April 2025 refers to pressure from Inter representatives before the Bologna-Inter match on April 20 and the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal derby on April 23. Rocchi reportedly said he intended to appoint Andrea Colombo for the Bologna match, and Colombo was subsequently selected. In other recorded conversations, Rocchi refers to communications with an Inter representative identified as Giorgio and complains of persistent pressure from the club. The part of the investigation concerning alleged unauthorized access to Serie A's VAR facility in Lissone, in the province of Monza and Brianza, was separated and transferred to the Monza Prosecutor's Office, which has territorial jurisdiction. According to investigators, at least two of the isolated incidents identified in connection with the four matches under investigation could be relevant to the federal prosecutor, which may assess them under sporting disciplinary rules. Any resulting sporting sanctions would affect the 2026-2027 season.
