In April 2007, about three years ago, the Disciplinary Committee of the Football League inflicted Enrico Preziosi, president of F.C. Genoa, was given a five year ban by the Italian Football Federation for organising a cash bribe. Despite this, Mr. Preziosi continues to appear in all official matters regarding F.C. Genoa.

For example what happened last summer? Two good players, Diego Milito and Thiago Motta, arrived at F.C. Internazionale MIlan from F.C. Genoa. To make the announcement of the transfer from Genoa was the same president of the club, Enrico Preziosi on 20 May 2009 on-air on Telenordia.

He told: "We have sold two important players. I had breakfast with F.C. Internazionale President, Mr. Moratti and we reached and agreement.".

The Code of Sports Justice (Article 10 paragraph 1) says:

"Federal managers and executives, members of the company, shall be prohibited from activities related to transfers, the assignment of the contract or membership of players and technicians, unless they happen in the interests of their society. It is also unlawful because, in carrying out these activities, use of unauthorized persons still have contact with those whose licenses are suspended or banned. In these cases, acts, even if concluded, have no effect. "

Summarising, the code is clear: it is absolutely forbidden to carry out "mercato" with banned individuals. Where this happens, any agreed transfers are annulled. In other words, what does this mean? It means that the transfers of Milito and Thiago Motta are not valid.

What effect might this lead in the season? Milito this season played 31 times in the Italian Serie A (19 goals) 5 times in the "Italian Cup" and "Italian SuperCup" (1 goal), 9 times in the Champions League (4 goals).

Thiago Motta this season played in the Italian Serie A 22 times (3 goals) in the "Italian Cup" 5 times and in the Champions League 6 times.

For the "Serie A" only, art. 17 paragraph 5, which provides: "The punishment of the loss of sporting competition is imposed in proceedings under Article. 29, paragraphs 7 and 8, the company does participate in the tender or otherwise not disqualified players are entitled to take part. "Thus, because the membership of these two players clearly illegal, it is logical to expect that every game in which only one of the two played (even for a few minutes) involves the defeat.

For the Champions League, the rules are similar: any match played with Milito and/or Thiago Motta should be considered invalid.

"I met [Inter] President Massimo Moratti for breakfast, and we have reached an agreement."

Article 1, paragraph 1:
Companies, executives, athletes, technicians, match officials and any other entity engaged in a competitive nature, technical, organizational, decision or otherwise relevant to the federation, are required to comply with WTO rules and Federal acts and must act according to the principles of loyalty, honesty and probity in all relationships covered in sporting activities.

Article 10, paragraph 1:
For federal managers and executives, to members of the company, members not of Article. 1, paragraph 5 shall be prohibited from activities related to the transfer, however, and the assignment of the contract or membership of players and technicians, unless they happen in the interests of their society. It is also unlawful because, in carrying out these activities, use of unauthorized persons still have contact with those who are licensed and suspended or prohibited. In these cases acts, even if concluded, have no effect.

Article 17, paragraph 5:
The punishment for the loss of sporting competition is imposed in proceedings under Article. 29, paragraphs 7 and 8 in the company listing:
a) the participate in each game are disqualified or otherwise no players are entitled to participate.

Article 17, paragraph 8:
The company that makes players take part in competitions which, due to irregularities caused by the same company, who the FIGC (Italian federation) has subsequently revoked the membership of, the penalty is applied by deduction of a point in the standings for each game they have participated in with the aforementioned players.

Inter vergogna d'Italia.

more fraud in Italian football....

No news until July, just this:

Moratti: 'Mou's right, FIGC hate Inter'
Saturday 10 July, 2010
Massimo Moratti has been suspended for three months over transfer irregularities. “Jose Mourinho was right, they’re making Inter pay one way or another.”

The Nerazzurri President was handed the three-month ban and fined €45,000 after the FIGC Disciplinary Commission ruled that negotiations for Thiago Motta and Diego Milito last summer were irregular.

This is because they were led by Genoa President Enrico Preziosi, who was suspended due to an earlier punishment. Preziosi has now been banned for a further six months.

“I have a lot of respect for the judges, but very little for the Federation,” slammed Moratti in Tuttosport newspaper.

“Mourinho was right when he said they’d make Inter pay one way or another. He left; unfortunately I cannot do the same.

“During the inquiry our defence was not taken remotely into consideration.

“In any case, this sentence is just the latest chapter in a hostile attitude towards Inter. I do not feel remotely guilty of anything.”

Due to the ban, Moratti will not be allowed into the locker room to see his players after the Italian Super Cup against Roma in August.

Another passport scandal for Inter, this time involving Maxwell. At Inter he was registered as having an EU passport but at Barcelona he is registered as a non EU player.

His Dutch passport has gone 'missing'

This club is a fucking joke, how they get away with it time again is unbelievable. They dodged Recoba's fake passport already on a technicality. FIFA are investigating this. Watch them dodge this one as well
