Scandal in Italy. The Inter bought the games.

[Fender87]

The call, published by Tuttosport, involves Facchetti (President of Inter) and Bergamo (The arbiters' nominator) discussing the referee for the Cagliari-Inter Coppa Italia semi-final of 2005, a day before the game. The call is dated May 11, 2005. L'Inter will win the Coppa Italia.

Facchetti: Look, I saw the score that we have had with Bertini. Four wins, four draws and four defeats.

Bergamo: Damn, ok, lets do five, four, four. But wins.

Facchetti: But tell him that its important tomorrow. He has had 12 games, all four, four, four.

Bergamo: He will move one, the one that starts with V. I still have to speak with him, but he is intelligent, and he knows how things should go. Better late than never. Listen Giacinto, we consider Sunday's game to be a tranquil one. And we will put a debutant ref in the grid. Is that ok for you?

Facchetti: Yes ok, if you want to. It's ok...

Bergamo: I wanted to tell, please don't ever think about a lack of attention from my part.

Facchetti: On Sunday a debutant ref is fine for me.

Bergamo: A debutant, there is Mazzoleni.

Facchetti: Mazzoleni is from Bergamo... there is also his brother.

Bergamo: Yes, he is good and young. He has good numbers and has good promise.

Facchetti: No problem.

Bergamo: Listen, can you get me some tickets for Sunday for a client.

Facchetti: No problem, call me Friday or Saturday. Call me and...

Bergamo: Good luck.

Facchetti: Please... tell him.

Bergamo: Consider it done.

It would be better if you'd posted in Serie A forum.

Btw, I always thought that Inter got involved in match fixing as other teams and I hope they will be fined!

How did Tuttosport get a recording of that conversation?
