The Italian Football Federation has started an investigation against the Turin team following reports in the media that the team's general manager Luciano Moggi, during phone conversations with Pierluigi Paretto, responsible for appointing referees to matches at the time, discussed about referees. The conversations with P.Paretto took place during the 2004/05 Serie A season, when Turin prosecutors were investigating a doping case that also involved the Juventus club. Currently, the content of the conversations between L.Moggi and P.Parreto is being investigated, and federation president Franco Carraro is concerned about possible outcomes. "I feel like millions of fans - worried, sad, and angry," said the federation's leader. "To err is human, but mistakes are revealed, confirmed, and then come sanctions. Juventus executive director Antonio Giraudo is also caught up in the conversations. He does not hide his outrage that all these accusations first reached the media. "I would like to know why all this information was first passed on to the media, and not to us or our lawyers," said A.Giraudo. "We learned about all this only from the newspapers, and we only received copies of the material today. It is unbelievable that the most important people's rights are of little concern to many. Once again, Juventus and its leaders are at the center of media attention, without any precedent in football history." "We will fight together, as we did in previous years, and I am sure that we will start showing even better results on the field," A.Giraudo said.
