Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:27,944
I became
a public prosecutor
2
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:32,907
because I believe in justice and truth.
3
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:38,705
This is a very tough city.
4
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:44,377
Every neighborhood in Naples
is controlled by the Camorra,
5
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,379
a group like the Mafia.
6
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:54,637
For a long time, I had a security team
to prevent my murder.
7
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:08,068
In 2003, Camorra informants told us
8
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:10,779
that there was something corrupt
9
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:14,657
at the very highest levels
of Italian football.
10
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:21,414
Everybody knows Italy lives for football.
11
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:28,546
But we never imagined
that this investigation
12
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:32,550
would lead to one of the biggest ever
scandals in Italy.
13
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:46,981
The storm engulfing Italian Football
is growing.
14
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,153
Goal! Incredible!
15
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:55,657
These shocking wiretaps
are like an earthquake.
16
00:01:56,241 --> 00:01:59,160
Managers and officials
could end up in jail.
17
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:04,916
The world of football
is poisoned.
18
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:09,045
Juventus, champions of Italy.
19
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:11,089
This is seismic.
20
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:13,883
The biggest scandal
in the history of Italian football.
21
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:12,192
That summer,
witnesses told us
22
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:15,653
about a group we'd never heard of before...
23
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:17,947
The Roman Posse.
24
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:25,955
The Roman Posse was a mysterious
and secret group of powerful referees
25
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:32,503
who were influencing football matches
at the highest level,
26
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:35,673
that is the Serie A league.
27
00:03:38,676 --> 00:03:43,348
Power is fascinating.
Power captivates and corrupts.
28
00:03:45,016 --> 00:03:48,269
Referees have enormous power.
29
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:53,691
If that power is used illegally,
30
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:55,610
it can shape the outcome of a game,
31
00:03:56,569 --> 00:04:00,323
or even an entire season.
32
00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:10,083
Our witnesses told us
that the Roman Posse
33
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:12,835
was somehow connected to
34
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,129
the most important club in Italy,
Juventus.
35
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:29,811
Juventus are
the most successful club in Italy.
36
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:36,359
And have been, historically,
going all the way back to the 1950s.
37
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:44,659
In 2004, Juventus had
27 Serie A titles to their name,
38
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:48,413
which is pretty incredible,
because that's almost as many
39
00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:51,416
as the next two teams combined.
40
00:04:56,462 --> 00:05:01,050
The passion, the love...
like the love for your wife.
41
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:04,846
I was born in a black and white shirt.
42
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,619
Juventus are owned
by the Agnelli family.
43
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,270
They are like the Kennedys.
44
00:05:12,353 --> 00:05:14,188
This is a family that contributed
45
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,066
five percent of the annual GDP of Italy.
46
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:20,528
They own Fiat,
they own Ferrari,
47
00:05:20,611 --> 00:05:22,322
they have a media empire.
48
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:28,119
The Agnelli family is the closest thing
that we have in Italy to a royal family.
49
00:05:28,953 --> 00:05:31,247
It's hugely, hugely powerful.
50
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:45,970
I knew the investigation
would be really difficult
51
00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:52,185
because football is a very important part
of this country's economy.
52
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:55,188
It was an investigation into power.
53
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:01,319
You can't do this type
of investigation alone.
54
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:06,449
The first thing I did
was call Rome's Military police.
55
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:11,287
I got a call
from Public Prosecutor Narducci,
56
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:16,626
and I told him straight away
57
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:18,711
this is really serious.
58
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:25,259
We got on straight away.
59
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:30,264
We smoked a lot together.
60
00:06:30,848 --> 00:06:34,769
Uh, I was a cigar smoker,
and he smoked cigarettes.
61
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:45,488
Our goal was to find out everything
about the Roman Posse.
62
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,033
Who was part of it? What were they up to?
63
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:53,246
We needed to reach
the heart of the system.
64
00:06:54,956 --> 00:06:58,209
It was going to be difficult
to find evidence of crimes.
65
00:06:59,001 --> 00:07:03,798
We didn't have anyone
on the inside, an informer.
66
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:08,719
So, we got a warrant
to tap their phones.
67
00:07:10,721 --> 00:07:16,519
We needed to wiretap the two people
in charge of the Referees' Association.
68
00:07:17,186 --> 00:07:20,731
Paolo Bergamo and Pierluigi Pairetto.
69
00:07:21,983 --> 00:07:25,611
We also wiretapped
the sporting director of Juventus...
70
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,823
who had enormous power.
71
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:31,659
His name was Luciano Moggi.
72
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,999
Luciano Moggi was seen
73
00:07:38,082 --> 00:07:41,544
as this very clever wheeler-dealer
director of football.
74
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:45,631
He grew from out of nothing, really.
75
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:48,676
He comes from this poor, rural hamlet.
76
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:50,970
He desperately wants to be in football,
77
00:07:51,053 --> 00:07:53,848
but has to pay the bills,
so he gets a job with the railway
78
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:56,851
which allows him to watch games.
79
00:07:57,894 --> 00:08:01,647
He becomes an exceptional scout
who had a real eye for talent.
80
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:07,570
I'm not bragging,
but even when I worked on the railways,
81
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:13,117
I was a leader. My dad taught me
the value of hard work.
82
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:17,705
He built himself
working for various different clubs...
83
00:08:19,415 --> 00:08:22,043
before reaching
what was considered the top,
84
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:26,339
being a sporting director
of Juventus Football Club.
85
00:08:27,757 --> 00:08:29,759
He brings in these tremendous players:
86
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:33,262
Zinedine Zidane, Pavel Nedvěd,
87
00:08:34,263 --> 00:08:35,932
"Gigi" Buffon.
88
00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:40,645
So, with all the glamour and the money
coming in to the Italian game,
89
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:44,857
Moggi very much
was the architect behind the scenes.
90
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,486
What don't you like
about football?
91
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:52,198
Losing.
92
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:02,667
We set up
a listening room in central Rome.
93
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:08,631
It was a small team.
Reliable, very close.
94
00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:18,474
The investigation needed to be top secret.
95
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:23,854
Any leak would completely risk
96
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:26,274
compromising it.
97
00:09:34,490 --> 00:09:36,492
I'm coming back
to Turin tomorrow.
98
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,327
I've got a gift for you.
99
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:40,037
You shouldn't have!
100
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:43,165
- Don't bust my balls.
- Okay, if you insist.
101
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:48,296
Out of all the people
we were wiretapping,
102
00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:53,884
Luciano Moggi was the one
we heard speaking the most.
103
00:09:55,553 --> 00:10:00,016
He talked day and night.
104
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,811
Greatest Luciano, how are you?
105
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:05,438
I'm fine, thanks.
106
00:10:05,521 --> 00:10:10,026
I see you on the news.
I see you on TV. Don't get in trouble.
107
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:15,197
The officer in charge
of listening said,
108
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:19,869
"Look, Commander, I can't keep up
109
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:25,166
because there are so many calls!"
110
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:34,967
In the summer
of 2004, Juventus had a problem.
111
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:39,805
The previous season,
it ended up as a bit of a disaster.
112
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:44,101
A.C. Milan had won the Serie A title.
113
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:47,104
They were Juventus' biggest rivals.
114
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:51,025
Milan were owned
by Silvio Berlusconi.
115
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:53,694
He was the Prime Minister of Italy,
at the time.
116
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:55,529
So, there was this great rivalry,
117
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:57,823
because it was Berlusconi
versus the Agnellis.
118
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:02,679
Moggi almost got run over!
119
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,709
Someone wants
to take him out.
120
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:10,873
There's Umberto Agnelli.
121
00:11:12,129 --> 00:11:14,757
The screws were turned on Moggi.
122
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,719
He needed to do something bold
to regain the upper hand.
123
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:23,891
He signed Zlatan Ibrahimović,
one of the great young talents in Europe.
124
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:27,770
And Moggi really managed
the greatest coup of all,
125
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:31,148
by getting the best manager
at the time, Fabio Capello.
126
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:37,530
All the other teams
should be scared.
127
00:11:37,613 --> 00:11:41,826
It's difficult to win
all the time, but we're going to try.
128
00:11:47,164 --> 00:11:49,959
The Serie A season
begins with victories.
129
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:54,296
Zlatan Ibrahimović was in his debut.
130
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:57,383
And then Juventus go to Sampdoria.
131
00:11:59,510 --> 00:12:01,429
Should be a great night, this.
132
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:03,889
Potentially tricky away game.
133
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:06,475
Listen to these Sampdoria fans.
134
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:15,401
And this is Mauro Germán Camoranesi.
135
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:17,903
Strong deep by Camoranesi.
136
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,490
Early in the first half
there's a penalty awarded to Juventus.
137
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:24,827
I think he must've given
a penalty here, Dondarini.
138
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:27,329
It's a yellow card for Falcone
for complaining.
139
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:29,874
From my point of view,
it's a referee mistake.
140
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:33,753
From the replays,
it appears that if a foul is committed,
141
00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:35,629
it's committed by a Juve player.
142
00:12:39,008 --> 00:12:41,552
The Sampdoria players
are absolutely furious.
143
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:50,644
Sampdoria collapsed after that.
144
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:54,106
Great cut by Ibrahimović,
instant impact.
145
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:56,692
Hit by Trezeguet!
146
00:12:58,110 --> 00:13:00,404
It's a three-nil victory
for Juventus.
147
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:04,450
Flachi's furious,
but this is all down to the referee.
148
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:10,623
The losing team always feels hard done by.
It's the nature of football.
149
00:13:10,706 --> 00:13:16,295
But Juventus had won, three-nil,
and the referee was just doing his job.
150
00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:21,258
A referee has a lot of power over a game.
151
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:25,054
Football is,
by its very nature, a low-scoring sport.
152
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:29,433
And so, individual decisions have
an out-sized influence.
153
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:34,063
Juventus had this reputation
of always getting favorable decisions,
154
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:36,899
and this had been something
that was spoken about,
155
00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:38,567
it was a conspiracy theory.
156
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:42,571
I'll just say this:
157
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:47,201
Juventus does everything by the book.
158
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:51,413
In Italy, everyone hates winners.
159
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:56,252
Juventus has never cheated.
Maybe others do.
160
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:05,344
Nobody in Italy could have imagined
161
00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:09,682
that such a big investigation
162
00:14:09,765 --> 00:14:13,352
into football was taking place.
163
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:20,109
But to start with,
there wasn't anything incriminating.
164
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:24,071
We needed concrete proof
165
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:27,867
that the referees were being pressured.
166
00:14:33,497 --> 00:14:35,851
By November,
everything was going smoothly
167
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:36,917
for Juventus.
168
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:38,687
They won eight
of their nine matches,
169
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,921
and they were looking like
the team to beat.
170
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,674
Milan was in second place.
171
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:52,892
Juventus are fine.
They have an away match against Reggina.
172
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:59,481
A small club. Most people forecast
an easy win for Juventus.
173
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,276
The match is starting.
174
00:15:02,359 --> 00:15:04,028
How many will Juve score tonight?
175
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:10,075
Reggina attacking. Ball played in.
176
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:13,621
Early on
in the match, Reggina take the lead.
177
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:15,706
Incredible goal!
178
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:18,918
But Zlatan Ibrahimović
immediately equalized.
179
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,587
Goal! Juventus has equalized.
180
00:15:22,212 --> 00:15:26,133
But then,
long-range free kick from Zamboni.
181
00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:28,177
Zamboni scores!
182
00:15:28,719 --> 00:15:31,879
Juventus are angry.
Right? This is not supposed to happen.
183
00:15:33,223 --> 00:15:34,850
Ibrahimović...
184
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:39,289
Ibrahimović gets
the ball into the back of the net.
185
00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:41,607
Wait! There's been a foul.
186
00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:46,236
But it's ruled out because of a foul.
187
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:51,367
Only two minutes left. Juve's attacking.
188
00:15:53,202 --> 00:15:54,662
Goal!
189
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:57,623
They finally get the goal.
190
00:15:58,832 --> 00:16:01,168
But then,
there's this very dramatic moment...
191
00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:03,462
Reggina are furious.
192
00:16:04,755 --> 00:16:07,150
...where you see
the referee, Gianluca Paparesta,
193
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:10,719
going over to speak to
the assistant referee, Aniello Di Mauro.
194
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:14,014
It all comes down to this moment.
195
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:20,270
Paparesta rules out the goal.
It's offside!
196
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:30,781
When you see something
and you're certain,
197
00:16:30,864 --> 00:16:33,575
you must decide immediately.
198
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:36,870
I didn't stop to think
it was the last minute of a match
199
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:42,001
in which Juventus was losing,
otherwise you become biased.
200
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:43,794
You must referee.
201
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,304
It was the correct call.
202
00:16:47,381 --> 00:16:49,800
However, it's also
a very marginal decision.
203
00:16:49,883 --> 00:16:52,469
Incredible end to the game!
204
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:02,229
The tension was obvious.
205
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:09,445
Luciano Moggi came
into the changing room to complain.
206
00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:15,200
He said it was shameful,
absurd to rule out those goals.
207
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,126
As soon as
the Reggina-Juventus match was over,
208
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,712
Moggi made lots of calls.
209
00:17:28,922 --> 00:17:30,924
He was furious.
210
00:17:34,803 --> 00:17:40,142
Look, two goals disallowed.
A penalty, scandalous!
211
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:42,728
Yes, I saw. It's a scandal.
212
00:17:42,811 --> 00:17:44,480
We listened to itlive.
213
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:48,233
I locked the referee
in the dressing room
214
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:51,695
- and took the keys with me to the airport.
- Yeah, no way!
215
00:17:53,363 --> 00:17:57,117
We looked at each other,
216
00:17:57,701 --> 00:18:00,496
"What the hell, shit."
217
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:05,042
"Play it again, let me hear it again."
218
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:09,505
It's true. I locked him in
and took the key away.
219
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:12,299
Now they'll have to kick the door down.
220
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:18,263
A football club director
221
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:21,767
can get as mad as they like.
222
00:18:22,351 --> 00:18:27,481
What they can't do
is to approach a referee
223
00:18:27,564 --> 00:18:31,693
and threaten him or insult him,
224
00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:34,321
because this is strictly forbidden.
225
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:40,119
For me,
Paparesta is a piece of shit.
226
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:42,913
He has to be stopped.
Both the assistants, too.
227
00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:50,796
I thought, he'd let off steam
and that would be the end of it.
228
00:18:51,755 --> 00:18:53,465
But it didn't end there.
229
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:01,390
"Ladies and gentlemen,
the Biscardi trial."
230
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:03,225
♪ Biscardi, oley, oley ♪
231
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:04,810
♪ Let's celebrate ♪
232
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:07,062
♪ Biscardi, oley, oley ♪
233
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,730
♪ Let's prosecute ♪
234
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,608
Aldo Biscardi
created a TV program
235
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:13,360
called Il Processo, The Trial.
236
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,406
It was a very influential
television program.
237
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:20,784
Thank you, good evening.
238
00:19:22,703 --> 00:19:26,373
Moggi was aware that controlling
public opinion was crucial.
239
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:30,127
Aldo Biscardi was a close friend.
240
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,010
I want Paparesta suspended
and his linesman.
241
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:42,931
They were shit in this match.
Now they must be punished.
242
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:47,102
Yes,
why not take back his license?
243
00:19:49,813 --> 00:19:52,608
...The Trial. Thank you.
244
00:19:53,150 --> 00:19:57,196
So, on Monday night we tuned in.
245
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,616
Thank you. Thank you.
246
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:06,997
We wanted to see
whether Biscardi would follow
247
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,667
the directions from Luciano Moggi.
248
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:14,713
Yet again, a refereeing scandal.
249
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:19,218
The referees are making mistakes.
It must be stopped!
250
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:26,350
It made me very angry.
My career was at stake.
251
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:30,896
- Paparesta's license should be taken away.
- Or suspended.
252
00:20:30,979 --> 00:20:32,981
Then take away his license!
253
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:45,953
Until all this happened,
I was happy to referee.
254
00:20:46,036 --> 00:20:49,539
I liked it. I traveled the world.
255
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:55,629
I couldn't wait for my son to grow up
so that I could bring him with me.
256
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,176
Gianluca Paparesta was suspended
257
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:05,055
by the Italian Referees' Association
for two games.
258
00:21:05,138 --> 00:21:07,158
When he came back,
he refereed a lower division game.
259
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:08,976
MOGGI SAYS,
"THAT REFEREE SHOULD BE REPLACED"
260
00:21:09,059 --> 00:21:11,436
I think a lot of referees
saw that and were like,
261
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,438
"All right, he's been sent a message."
262
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:16,441
It saddens me
263
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:19,152
that I was punished
by the Referees' Association.
264
00:21:24,533 --> 00:21:28,245
And his linesman, Aniello Di Mauro,
had an even worse fate.
265
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:31,748
We intercepted a call to him
266
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:35,627
from the Head of the Referees' Assocation,
Paolo Bergamo.
267
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:43,635
Listen,
this was a refereeing mistake.
268
00:21:43,719 --> 00:21:47,723
As you know, Paparesta went to Serie B.
There will always be repercussions.
269
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:50,100
No, Paolo, I'm sorry.
270
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:52,728
You have to believe me.
271
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:58,150
The only thing I was thinking about
was that it was offside.
272
00:21:58,233 --> 00:22:00,736
I swear on my children!
273
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:05,490
You have to believe me.
You're humiliating me!
274
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:13,707
I feel deep compassion for him.
He did his job, he raised the flag.
275
00:22:17,961 --> 00:22:23,216
Their power was so strong, so unchecked,
276
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,888
that they even humiliated people,
even making them cry.
277
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:33,477
When referees weren't on their side,
278
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,940
like Paparesta, the direction was:
"Butcher them."
279
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:44,363
This is exactly
what we were trying to prove.
280
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:49,910
The Referees' Association
was being influenced by Moggi.
281
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:16,311
I work in the Sport section
of la Repubblica.
282
00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:21,274
My boss thought I was
a bit of a pain in the ass,
283
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:26,363
because I loved to shed light
on things that were hidden.
284
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:28,490
I dealt with the dark side of football.
285
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:35,914
I thought that Luciano Moggi
was very interesting.
286
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:40,043
He was extremely powerful.
287
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:45,632
I read everything
that had been written about him.
288
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:53,181
Everywhere Moggi had been,
there were scandals.
289
00:23:53,974 --> 00:23:58,437
Supplying prostitutes.
This is the accusation leveled against
290
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,856
the ex-director of Torino FC,
Luciano Moggi.
291
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,526
The women were asked
292
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:08,530
to keep the referees happy
before three games.
293
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:11,366
Moggi completely denies this.
294
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:18,540
He'd never been found guilty
of anything.
295
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:24,754
He's a man who was always one step ahead.
296
00:24:29,509 --> 00:24:32,012
I started looking for sources,
297
00:24:32,762 --> 00:24:37,058
but Juventus
is the most important team in Italy.
298
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:44,357
To attack them, you must be
absolutely certain of the facts.
299
00:24:45,609 --> 00:24:51,573
If you miss a shot at Luciano Moggi,
you won't get a second chance.
300
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:04,961
After Reggina, Juventus were
winning most of their matches.
301
00:25:05,545 --> 00:25:08,882
But Milan had cut Juve's lead
to four points.
302
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:22,521
Around then we ran into a problem.
303
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:26,483
It had the potential
to derail the whole investigation.
304
00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:34,032
We heard Luciano Moggi
talking with Paolo Bergamo.
305
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:38,286
I've had some issues.
306
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,081
I want to talk about it
on the other phone.
307
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:42,164
Okay.
308
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:49,381
But Moggi's phone call didn't happen.
We didn't have that conversation recorded,
309
00:25:49,464 --> 00:25:52,425
even though
all Moggi's mobile phones were bugged.
310
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:54,886
Both mobile and landlines.
311
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:57,347
It drives you crazy.
312
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,140
Where the hell were they talking?
313
00:26:03,603 --> 00:26:06,189
I'm on the wrong phone,
wait a second.
314
00:26:06,273 --> 00:26:08,900
I'll send you a text
on the other phone.
315
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:17,909
They must have a system
for talking to each other secretly.
316
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:22,998
Get two SIM cards.
317
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:24,249
I got them.
318
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:27,294
Two anonymous SIM cards.
319
00:26:31,006 --> 00:26:35,051
We realized that this group
had their most secret calls
320
00:26:35,135 --> 00:26:37,262
using secret burner phones.
321
00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:44,477
We'd only ever seen this before
with organized crime gangs.
322
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:50,859
Maybe they'd been tipped off
about the investigation.
323
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:59,951
Juventus was about to play
a very important match against Milan,
324
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:05,540
but we didn't hear any phone calls
about that match.
325
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:10,587
We were left in total darkness.
Total darkness.
326
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,935
This championship is already
327
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:29,522
a two-horse race for the title
between Juventus and Milan.
328
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:45,681
Juventus are top of the league,
329
00:27:45,705 --> 00:27:47,457
but their lead is just four points.
330
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,462
If Milan won the match, then it would
blow the title race wide open.
331
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:56,925
These are two strong, determined teams.
332
00:27:57,884 --> 00:28:00,136
Milan and Juventus, the moment of truth.
333
00:28:04,641 --> 00:28:07,519
There weren't many chances,
it was a close game,
334
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:11,564
but there were two big decisions
that go against Milan.
335
00:28:14,901 --> 00:28:16,581
That's a pull from Zebina.
336
00:28:16,611 --> 00:28:18,822
Certainly was, yeah,
and I think, uh,
337
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:21,991
if the referee had spotted that,
we could well be looking at a penalty.
338
00:28:24,744 --> 00:28:27,956
Now, that should have been a penalty
straight away, to Milan, but it wasn't.
339
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:35,672
Late on, Kakáis fouled,
but stays on his feet,
340
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,549
has the ball, is clear on goal.
341
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:41,529
- The whistle's gone...
- A poor decision.
342
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:44,973
It's held them up, hasn't it?
There was a clear advantage for Milan.
343
00:28:45,473 --> 00:28:50,729
They were absolutely furious,
because it was just bad refereeing.
344
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:53,877
So frustrating, that.
345
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:57,277
Especially with chances at a premium,
a real opportunity for Kaká.
346
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:03,658
It ended nil-nil, but Milan
should have won that match.
347
00:29:04,284 --> 00:29:07,036
Juventus went into the new year
at the top of the table.
348
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:10,957
Wait a second, he's on the phone.
349
00:29:26,181 --> 00:29:30,602
We were halfway through the season,
350
00:29:30,685 --> 00:29:35,815
but we still didn't have enough evidence
against Moggi,
351
00:29:37,233 --> 00:29:42,071
because they were using burner phones.
352
00:29:43,531 --> 00:29:50,455
So, we got the team started
on video surveillance
353
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:53,416
to film the people he met.
354
00:29:57,504 --> 00:29:58,838
He's coming on foot?
355
00:30:00,507 --> 00:30:02,050
At the top of the road?
356
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:09,057
Moggi was meeting members
357
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,977
of the football federation,
358
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:18,066
financiers and journalists.
359
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:25,740
We were shocked to find out that he was
360
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:29,619
driven around by police officers.
361
00:30:32,914 --> 00:30:36,167
This gave us an idea of the extent
362
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:40,046
of Luciano Moggi's power.
363
00:30:49,889 --> 00:30:54,352
Then, out of the blue,
we catch Moggi on wiretap
364
00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:58,857
speaking to referee administrator,
Paolo Bergamo.
365
00:31:01,651 --> 00:31:04,320
- Hello?
- I'm on the house number.
366
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:10,159
Moggi slips up
and uses a burner phone
367
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:14,622
to speak on a wire-tapped number.
368
00:31:15,415 --> 00:31:21,045
Thank God even the smartest people
make mistakes.
369
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:25,300
I'll tell you what I've written.
370
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:29,220
Okay, I've done Juventus, Udinese,
Reginna, Milan.
371
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:30,304
Yes.
372
00:31:31,389 --> 00:31:35,727
Bergamo is in charge of the draw
for selecting referees.
373
00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:40,732
And these are the referees
I've put in this grid.
374
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:44,861
I've got Bertini, Rodomonti and Racalbuto.
375
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:48,907
This grid works for me.
376
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:56,873
In Italy, they would
have a draw to assign the referee
377
00:31:56,956 --> 00:32:00,627
and they'd take all the matches,
they split them into tiers,
378
00:32:00,710 --> 00:32:02,378
and then they have a draw.
379
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:09,052
The system is designed to make sure
that it's extremely difficult for a club
380
00:32:09,135 --> 00:32:12,180
to influence what referee
gets assigned to their match.
381
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:16,100
It takes place
on a Friday morning in Rome.
382
00:32:16,184 --> 00:32:17,685
ITALIAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION
383
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:23,858
Bergamo and Moggi spoke
on Tuesday saying,
384
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:27,612
"This referee here, that one there.
No, change it around."
385
00:32:27,695 --> 00:32:30,448
"Bertini is fine for me,"
that is for Moggi.
386
00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:35,745
So, we really wanted to find out
what would happen.
387
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:48,132
On Friday,
we were completely shocked.
388
00:32:51,844 --> 00:32:52,845
Rodomonti.
389
00:32:53,763 --> 00:32:58,559
We went to check.
To our surprise, it was that list.
390
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:03,815
The same list
that Moggi had given a few days earlier.
391
00:33:04,482 --> 00:33:05,482
Bertini.
392
00:33:07,193 --> 00:33:13,491
Either Luciano Moggi was one of the most
extraordinary clairvoyants in history,
393
00:33:13,574 --> 00:33:17,745
uh, or something else was going on.
394
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:22,709
We thought that
the referee selection
395
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:28,548
was entirely arranged by Moggi
and the referee administrator.
396
00:33:29,298 --> 00:33:31,759
It was disturbing.
397
00:33:34,137 --> 00:33:39,600
For us, this was one of
the most important pieces of evidence
398
00:33:39,684 --> 00:33:45,273
to prove that we were dealing
with an organized crime group.
399
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:54,032
Moggi's secret system wasn't a myth.
It was absolutely real.
400
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:07,587
2005 starts
with Juventus actually losing some ground.
401
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:10,131
That meant
that they lost their position
402
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:12,050
at the top of the table to Milan.
403
00:34:13,384 --> 00:34:16,637
This made for a very exciting title race.
404
00:34:17,513 --> 00:34:20,183
Everybody believes
it's going down to the wire.
405
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:32,945
- Hi.
- Gigi.
406
00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:35,865
What fucking referee
are you sending us?
407
00:34:37,533 --> 00:34:40,369
Once we realized that Luciano Moggi
408
00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:45,041
was manipulating
the selection of referees,
409
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:48,586
a whole different world
opened up before us.
410
00:34:49,504 --> 00:34:54,884
We realized it was even more complex
than we thought.
411
00:34:55,593 --> 00:35:01,307
Their work was so sophisticated
it didn't leave anything to chance.
412
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:12,235
Moggi was trying to influence games
that had nothing to do with Juventus.
413
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,573
We didn't understand why.
414
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:25,706
For the Fiorentina vs
Bologna game,
415
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,084
I need the yellow cards to do their work.
416
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:35,007
Luciano Moggi clearly says,
"Go ahead with the yellow cards."
417
00:35:36,926 --> 00:35:40,138
When you accumulate
a certain number of yellow cards,
418
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:43,099
you get an automatic one or two match ban.
419
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:46,352
The referee is Massimo De Santis,
420
00:35:46,435 --> 00:35:49,856
and he ends up booking
three Bologna players,
421
00:35:49,939 --> 00:35:53,317
but crucially,
three of those players were, at the time,
422
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:56,362
one yellow card away from a suspension.
423
00:35:57,822 --> 00:35:59,949
The next match is against Juventus.
424
00:36:06,497 --> 00:36:10,501
De Santis has done the perfect crime.
425
00:36:11,752 --> 00:36:16,757
All three Bologna players suspended.
426
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:19,010
Yes, thank goodness.
427
00:36:23,764 --> 00:36:26,976
When Juventus played Bologna,
428
00:36:27,059 --> 00:36:29,604
who had three key players suspended,
429
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:32,523
Bologna lost.
430
00:36:35,067 --> 00:36:37,695
It was a very sophisticated system.
431
00:36:38,404 --> 00:36:39,530
Deadly.
432
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:49,498
By now, we had a clear idea
of the three pillars of Moggi's system:
433
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:52,460
Choosing referees he wants...
434
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:59,967
punishing referees who were against him...
435
00:37:02,386 --> 00:37:08,184
and getting referees to suspend players
from teams about to play Juventus.
436
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:14,440
Thanks to the Moggi system,
at the end of the championship,
437
00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:19,403
Juventus are close to winning the League.
438
00:37:35,419 --> 00:37:38,589
It was the end
of the season, and Juventus and Milan
439
00:37:38,673 --> 00:37:39,715
were neck and neck.
440
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:46,305
So, it all came down
to this big match in Milan.
441
00:37:48,808 --> 00:37:51,648
We haven't seen
a battle like this for years.
442
00:37:51,686 --> 00:37:56,524
With the two teams neck and neck,
this game is basically a final.
443
00:37:58,317 --> 00:38:01,696
Whoever won that match
would effectively win the title.
444
00:38:01,779 --> 00:38:05,992
This is going out to 167 countries.
445
00:38:06,075 --> 00:38:08,395
It's gonna be
a great match. Pure football.
446
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:10,037
May the best team win.
447
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,581
There was
tremendous hype going into it,
448
00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:14,083
tremendous tension.
449
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:16,877
Whoever wins this will be champions.
450
00:38:25,344 --> 00:38:31,267
Collina was chosen as referee.
He was a top referee. He was impartial.
451
00:38:32,768 --> 00:38:36,564
We knew that Luciano Moggi
didn't want Collina.
452
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,651
Good evening.
453
00:38:40,735 --> 00:38:45,031
Evening, Luciano. I hear
you're pissed off about the referees.
454
00:38:45,114 --> 00:38:49,827
No, the pitch is our only friend.
455
00:38:49,910 --> 00:38:52,747
If we win, we win.
456
00:38:55,041 --> 00:39:00,588
The battle of the giants
couldn't be influenced by Moggi.
457
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:07,053
The owner of Milan was Berlusconi.
458
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:09,347
With his media power and economic might,
459
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:12,892
no other referee would have
taken on the responsibility.
460
00:39:13,476 --> 00:39:16,937
Because the match was so big.
461
00:39:36,332 --> 00:39:38,393
Del Piero delivers
a pinpoint cross,
462
00:39:38,417 --> 00:39:41,379
and David Trezeguet was there to meet it.
463
00:39:41,462 --> 00:39:45,591
David Trezeguet! One-nil!
464
00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:47,510
What a cross from Del Piero!
465
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:59,271
The rest of the match Milan
strained forward, trying to get an edge.
466
00:40:03,442 --> 00:40:04,842
Inzaghi!
467
00:40:06,695 --> 00:40:10,658
There's Buffon. Inzaghi hits the post!
468
00:40:26,549 --> 00:40:31,345
The match is over! Juventus won,
and probably the championship, too.
469
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,514
They're three points ahead of Milan now.
470
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:39,353
Winning that match meant
winning the title.
471
00:40:42,857 --> 00:40:44,918
Del Piero lifts the trophy.
472
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:48,320
They're champions of Italy
for the 28th time.
473
00:40:53,659 --> 00:40:55,299
Moggi's vindicated.
474
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:58,497
He, once again, was dominating Serie A.
475
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:08,507
It was amazing.
476
00:41:09,341 --> 00:41:11,218
It was like having a baby.
477
00:41:12,136 --> 00:41:15,848
I came back home with tears in my eyes.
478
00:41:22,354 --> 00:41:26,567
Everyone was celebrating,
but only we knew that it was a deception.
479
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:30,529
It was a great fraud.
480
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:35,284
As a fan,
I thought it was a dirty result.
481
00:41:36,410 --> 00:41:42,541
It's fake. It's like doping.
What sort of achievement is that?
482
00:41:48,672 --> 00:41:54,762
We had collected
about 171,000 phone calls.
483
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:59,600
It was an enormous task
to go through them all.
484
00:42:00,809 --> 00:42:04,480
At that point, we had enough evidence
485
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:08,776
to take them to court.
486
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:16,700
Everything had to remain
completely confidential
487
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:22,164
until we were ready
to issue arrest warrants.
488
00:42:50,025 --> 00:42:53,195
It's 6:00 p.m., I'm in the newsroom.
489
00:42:55,406 --> 00:42:59,743
I get a phone call from a close friend.
490
00:43:01,203 --> 00:43:03,038
He says, "Corrado, I have some documents."
491
00:43:03,831 --> 00:43:08,085
The documents came from the police.
They arrived from a confidential source.
492
00:43:10,337 --> 00:43:12,339
Okay. See you later.
493
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:19,847
We discovered it was about Luciano Moggi
and the last Serie A football seasons.
494
00:43:20,514 --> 00:43:23,309
We were all a bit shocked,
495
00:43:23,392 --> 00:43:27,104
because we realized
we had a massive story.
496
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:32,067
The charges included organized crime,
497
00:43:32,151 --> 00:43:39,074
which was unheard of in sports.
It's normally only for Mafia cases.
498
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:44,121
The office was electrified,
but we were a bit worried.
499
00:43:44,204 --> 00:43:46,624
It was very late.
To re-do the whole newspaper,
500
00:43:46,707 --> 00:43:48,292
at that time, is a big deal.
501
00:43:49,793 --> 00:43:52,546
The first edition, in those years,
closed at 11:00 p.m.
502
00:43:53,047 --> 00:43:57,801
So, we had three or four hours to read,
maybe an hour to write.
503
00:43:59,261 --> 00:44:04,975
But we work better under pressure,
and amazingly, we made it happen.
504
00:44:09,021 --> 00:44:10,773
Italian football exploded.
505
00:44:14,610 --> 00:44:15,611
MASSIVE SCANDAL!
506
00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:20,824
Breaking news. Leaked wiretaps
name famous Italian football executives.
507
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:23,786
The disaster at Juventus
is all over the front pages.
508
00:44:23,869 --> 00:44:25,079
"Juve in chaos."
509
00:44:25,162 --> 00:44:26,497
Good evening from Rai Sport.
510
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:31,168
The storm engulfing Italian Football
is growing.
511
00:44:31,752 --> 00:44:33,872
Luciano Moggi is
the central figure
512
00:44:33,921 --> 00:44:35,714
in Italy's match-fixing scandal.
513
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:39,604
Police believe their phone taps
have revealed a system of corruption
514
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:40,719
at the highest level.
515
00:44:45,641 --> 00:44:47,726
The scandal was seismic.
516
00:44:47,810 --> 00:44:50,979
Originally, they called it Moggopoli,
after Moggi.
517
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,023
Then it became Calciopoli,
518
00:44:53,107 --> 00:44:56,318
effectively the equivalent
of "Footballgate."
519
00:44:59,238 --> 00:45:02,991
It was the biggest ever football scandal.
520
00:45:04,076 --> 00:45:06,704
Moggi is also accused
of kidnapping.
521
00:45:06,787 --> 00:45:10,165
They are accused of locking the referee,
Paparesta, in the changing rooms.
522
00:45:10,249 --> 00:45:13,085
MOGGI ACCUSED OF KIDNAPPING
523
00:45:13,168 --> 00:45:17,423
That someone could go as far as
kidnapping a referee was unbelievable.
524
00:45:17,506 --> 00:45:20,884
It sounded like a Mexican Narcos story.
525
00:45:23,262 --> 00:45:25,182
Aldo Biscardi has stepped down
526
00:45:25,222 --> 00:45:28,475
after decades presenting one
of Italy's longest-running TV shows.
527
00:45:30,853 --> 00:45:32,855
The so-called "Moggi system"
528
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:34,773
is summarized in 2,400 pages,
529
00:45:34,857 --> 00:45:38,569
and there are also 10,000 wiretaps
and video surveillance.
530
00:45:44,450 --> 00:45:47,161
I wasn't angry, I was furious.
531
00:45:48,746 --> 00:45:53,709
It caused huge, irreparable damage
to our investigation.
532
00:45:55,210 --> 00:45:59,590
We'd never had a leak before.
533
00:45:59,673 --> 00:46:00,673
Never.
534
00:46:01,216 --> 00:46:03,135
All of our work was at risk,
535
00:46:03,218 --> 00:46:10,184
and for the first time,
Luciano Moggi knew we were onto him.
536
00:46:44,259 --> 00:46:46,345
- Here we are.
- Here we are.
537
00:46:46,428 --> 00:46:49,640
With that cigar,
you look like a boss.
538
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:52,392
- And...
- A phony one.
539
00:46:53,018 --> 00:46:57,064
Why did they call you Lucky Luciano?
540
00:46:57,147 --> 00:47:00,150
They didn't call meLucky Luciano,
they called me Lucky.
541
00:47:00,901 --> 00:47:05,113
But luck doesn't just happen.
You have to look for it.
542
00:47:05,906 --> 00:47:10,077
The first ten days
of the scandal were awful
543
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,581
because TV, radio, newspapers,
544
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:19,711
all repeating, "Scandal in football"
all the time.
545
00:47:21,255 --> 00:47:23,799
I've never taken advantage of anyone.
546
00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:27,219
To be accused of being a thief,
it hurt me.
547
00:47:30,264 --> 00:47:32,641
I grew up in poverty.
548
00:47:32,724 --> 00:47:35,435
My dad worked as a lumberjack.
549
00:47:36,603 --> 00:47:41,567
I've always had something inside
that pushed me
550
00:47:41,650 --> 00:47:44,903
and told me, "Go. Go on."
551
00:47:45,737 --> 00:47:48,782
And so I pursued my dream,
my passion for football.
552
00:47:50,534 --> 00:47:56,665
Football is a pure sport
in which the best players win.
553
00:47:57,332 --> 00:48:02,713
If we won seven championships,
I think that's a big achievement.
554
00:48:03,463 --> 00:48:07,843
All the players I signed,
from Zidane to Pavel Nedved,
555
00:48:07,926 --> 00:48:10,178
to Cannavaro, they were the right ones.
556
00:48:13,307 --> 00:48:14,975
Oh.
557
00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:24,192
We didn't need anyone's help
to win games.
558
00:48:24,276 --> 00:48:26,236
We won with our own strength.
559
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:29,740
When you're at the top of the tree,
everyone at the bottom
560
00:48:29,823 --> 00:48:31,575
is trying to shoot you down.
561
00:48:38,248 --> 00:48:41,084
The leak forced us
to take action immediately.
562
00:48:42,085 --> 00:48:44,546
We had to do it all in a crazy rush.
563
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:48,800
So, we subpoenaed the suspects.
564
00:48:49,968 --> 00:48:52,554
Most importantly, Luciano Moggi.
565
00:48:54,139 --> 00:48:58,310
Juventus is in the spotlight again.
566
00:48:58,393 --> 00:49:01,063
Today, Moggi will be interrogated.
567
00:49:01,146 --> 00:49:03,690
He's just arrived in Rome.
568
00:49:03,774 --> 00:49:07,694
He's on his way
to the police headquarters.
569
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:13,617
I was stressed.
570
00:49:14,826 --> 00:49:18,330
It was as if time and space had stopped...
571
00:49:19,957 --> 00:49:25,212
because Italy was desperate to know
what would happen next.
572
00:49:32,177 --> 00:49:38,225
Finally, I met Luciano Moggi in person,
up close, for the first time.
573
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:41,478
The expression on his face was tense.
574
00:49:45,941 --> 00:49:48,443
I struggled to look them in the eyes.
575
00:49:48,527 --> 00:49:50,654
I wanted to find out
what they would accuse me of
576
00:49:50,737 --> 00:49:52,489
since I hadn't done anything wrong.
577
00:49:53,031 --> 00:49:56,868
I didn't know
what they could charge me with.
578
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:07,629
May 15th, 2006...
579
00:50:08,463 --> 00:50:13,427
Before we start asking questions,
is there anything you'd like to say?
580
00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:20,392
I've been attacked by everyone.
I've been made a scapegoat.
581
00:50:20,475 --> 00:50:27,232
I can't accept this.
I have always obeyed the law.
582
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:31,194
I was certain I was innocent.
583
00:50:31,278 --> 00:50:36,575
He asked us,
"Have I done something wrong?"
584
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,162
"Is this illegal?"
585
00:50:40,912 --> 00:50:45,625
I did talk to the referee administrators.
But so did everyone else.
586
00:50:46,626 --> 00:50:50,422
Of course we try
to look out for ourselves,
587
00:50:50,505 --> 00:50:54,718
because this is something
all football clubs do.
588
00:50:56,011 --> 00:50:57,721
"This is football."
589
00:50:58,346 --> 00:51:01,975
So, we clashed with him,
because we kept saying,
590
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:04,770
"Look, this is illegal."
591
00:51:05,353 --> 00:51:07,773
And I never asked to win a match.
592
00:51:08,648 --> 00:51:11,735
Look, this is actually a crime.
593
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:15,280
We are talking about organized crime.
594
00:51:15,363 --> 00:51:16,615
Oh my!
595
00:51:16,698 --> 00:51:22,829
So, Paparesta locked
in the changing room...
596
00:51:22,913 --> 00:51:26,208
Dear Lord...
597
00:51:26,291 --> 00:51:29,211
Mr. Moggi, I want to tell you...
598
00:51:29,294 --> 00:51:33,423
- We have always...
- I have always been a good person,
599
00:51:33,507 --> 00:51:36,593
and now I feel like
I've turned into a Mafia Don!
600
00:51:44,267 --> 00:51:49,815
In that moment, he realizes
that the castle is crumbling.
601
00:51:52,692 --> 00:51:58,323
Do you realize your career is over?
602
00:52:10,669 --> 00:52:13,255
Please, don't ask me any questions...
603
00:52:14,589 --> 00:52:18,885
because I don't have the desire
or the strength.
604
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:21,638
My soul has been killed.
605
00:52:24,850 --> 00:52:30,188
Tomorrow, I will resign
as Sporting Director of Juventus.
606
00:52:30,272 --> 00:52:33,692
From this evening, the world of soccer
is no longer my world.
607
00:52:46,496 --> 00:52:50,000
There have been shocking developments
in the scandal.
608
00:52:50,083 --> 00:52:53,170
The authorities are investigating
nine clubs.
609
00:52:53,253 --> 00:52:55,755
Three might be relegated.
610
00:52:56,798 --> 00:52:58,317
The scandal grew week on week,
611
00:52:58,341 --> 00:53:02,012
and the Italian Federation
moved very quickly.
612
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:07,601
Juventus FC are relegated.
613
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:10,604
The Serie A titles are revoked.
614
00:53:12,314 --> 00:53:14,083
A.C. Milan remain
in Serie A,
615
00:53:14,107 --> 00:53:16,610
but will have 15 points deducted.
616
00:53:16,693 --> 00:53:19,613
All of a sudden,
you have Milan given a big points penalty.
617
00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:21,573
You have Lazio
with a big points penalty,
618
00:53:21,656 --> 00:53:25,452
and Juventus relegated, uh,
from the top flight,
619
00:53:25,535 --> 00:53:28,288
stripping them of two titles
that they'd won.
620
00:53:29,206 --> 00:53:32,876
Tonight, the verdict was greeted
in Turin with anger and defiance.
621
00:53:34,628 --> 00:53:38,590
There was an exodus
of top players leaving to go abroad.
622
00:53:39,841 --> 00:53:42,510
Juventus stand to lose
some of their star players
623
00:53:42,594 --> 00:53:44,888
in what could be the sale of the century.
624
00:53:45,597 --> 00:53:50,560
All football fans are victims
of this sickness in football.
625
00:53:51,603 --> 00:53:53,271
This has destroyed football.
626
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:58,652
As a fan, and as a person
who works in the world of football,
627
00:53:58,735 --> 00:53:59,819
it's terrifying.
628
00:54:00,403 --> 00:54:03,198
Don't you think it's a metaphor
for Italy today?
629
00:54:03,281 --> 00:54:05,742
No, absolutely not.
630
00:54:05,825 --> 00:54:09,329
This is something that's restricted
to a small part of football.
631
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:16,169
Moggi's resignation
was the end of an era.
632
00:54:17,254 --> 00:54:20,215
But for us, only one thing was important:
633
00:54:20,298 --> 00:54:24,594
taking him to court
and proving he was guilty.
634
00:54:37,482 --> 00:54:40,944
I felt pretty broken.
635
00:54:49,286 --> 00:54:51,955
I was even ashamed to walk on the street.
636
00:54:53,707 --> 00:54:59,337
It was as if a house had fallen on me.
637
00:55:00,338 --> 00:55:02,299
This team was my masterpiece.
638
00:55:06,553 --> 00:55:09,222
In that moment, I thought of many things.
639
00:55:11,766 --> 00:55:13,685
It's important to say,
640
00:55:13,768 --> 00:55:18,523
it included committing suicide,
because I was really...
641
00:55:24,904 --> 00:55:29,284
But religion taught me
that life is made of many moments,
642
00:55:29,367 --> 00:55:30,910
beautiful and bad.
643
00:55:31,578 --> 00:55:34,789
And you have to fight through
the bad ones.
644
00:55:37,959 --> 00:55:43,381
In my darkest moment,
I felt an inner strength
645
00:55:43,465 --> 00:55:45,800
which said, "You must fight."
646
00:55:45,884 --> 00:55:52,766
"Show the world
that everything being said is untrue."
647
00:56:11,659 --> 00:56:13,495
Now the Calciopoli scandal:
648
00:56:13,578 --> 00:56:17,415
Juventus' former Sporting Director
is on trial.
649
00:56:21,961 --> 00:56:25,965
We'll start the hearings now.
650
00:56:27,675 --> 00:56:29,386
I believe in justice.
651
00:56:29,469 --> 00:56:33,014
I believe in a fair world,
652
00:56:34,224 --> 00:56:38,812
but when I read that motto,
"The Law is Equal for All,"
653
00:56:38,895 --> 00:56:40,605
I had my doubts.
654
00:56:41,314 --> 00:56:46,152
Because even if this was a scandal,
all of football should have been on trial,
655
00:56:46,236 --> 00:56:48,738
not just a small part of it.
656
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:50,782
Not just me.
657
00:56:53,618 --> 00:56:57,288
I'm here to say I'm being portrayed...
658
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:03,628
as the head of a system
which I've never been part of.
659
00:57:06,464 --> 00:57:09,050
We had hundreds of thousands
of wiretaps,
660
00:57:09,634 --> 00:57:13,680
but we needed witnesses.
661
00:57:14,514 --> 00:57:17,058
I just wanted to understand why...
662
00:57:17,142 --> 00:57:20,937
officials who made decisions
against Juventus didn't referee anymore.
663
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:24,524
Did you ever receive threats
from Luciano Moggi?
664
00:57:24,607 --> 00:57:28,820
He said, "Be careful, you piece of shit,
or you'll end up in a bad way."
665
00:57:28,903 --> 00:57:34,909
- Objection!
- Lawyers, please calm down!
666
00:57:37,328 --> 00:57:40,248
They told me I was a disgrace,
667
00:57:41,332 --> 00:57:46,004
that they were appalled by my refereeing.
668
00:57:49,674 --> 00:57:53,470
Moggi's statements are quite dramatic.
He says, "I locked the referee
669
00:57:53,553 --> 00:57:56,306
in the changing room and took the keys."
670
00:57:56,806 --> 00:58:01,686
I don't think the door was locked.
671
00:58:02,604 --> 00:58:05,732
This never happened.
672
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:11,779
I made a joke.
673
00:58:11,863 --> 00:58:13,615
Ididn't actually do it.
674
00:58:14,532 --> 00:58:18,578
Moggi jokingly said he'd locked him
in the changing room.
675
00:58:19,412 --> 00:58:21,748
He was accused of kidnapping!
676
00:58:23,249 --> 00:58:24,834
Kidnapping!
677
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:27,921
This whole trial has been done like this.
678
00:58:28,004 --> 00:58:31,549
Some bullshit is said on the phone,
pardon my language,
679
00:58:31,633 --> 00:58:33,635
and an accusation is based on this?
680
00:58:37,138 --> 00:58:41,893
The media coverage was
on Moggi's side,
681
00:58:41,976 --> 00:58:45,396
making out he was the victim
682
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,526
and we were the crazy ones.
683
00:58:49,609 --> 00:58:53,321
If they want a war,
we'll give them a war.
684
00:58:54,572 --> 00:58:58,326
Luciano Moggi! Luciano Moggi!
685
00:59:00,662 --> 00:59:03,331
Yeah,
the fans definitely supported me,
686
00:59:03,414 --> 00:59:08,878
but not only Juventus fans,
because people with common sense
687
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:14,842
realized that there was no truth
to what they were saying.
688
00:59:17,136 --> 00:59:18,888
Moggi is innocent!
689
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:20,306
THANKS FOR EXISTING
690
00:59:26,354 --> 00:59:30,191
That Luciano Moggi
was completely different
691
00:59:30,275 --> 00:59:34,612
from the person I had met face-to-face.
692
00:59:36,072 --> 00:59:40,827
He was confident and had control
over everything around him.
693
00:59:42,036 --> 00:59:47,041
This is not a trial.
This is a ruthless witch hunt.
694
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:53,464
It was not true that the Moggi system
controlled football.
695
00:59:53,548 --> 00:59:55,341
It was the way football worked, generally.
696
00:59:56,467 --> 01:00:00,763
The other football teams spoke
to the referees and the designators.
697
01:00:00,847 --> 01:00:06,603
This was completely left out
by the public prosecutors.
698
01:00:08,771 --> 01:00:12,400
We've got about 2,000 wiretaps
of other Sporting Directors
699
01:00:12,483 --> 01:00:14,444
calling the Referees' Association.
700
01:00:16,029 --> 01:00:21,826
Only the part about Juventus came out.
701
01:00:23,453 --> 01:00:26,497
It's not in the report
because it wasn't relevant
702
01:00:26,581 --> 01:00:28,458
to our investigation.
703
01:00:30,877 --> 01:00:34,255
Moggi's defense argued
there was no conspiracy,
704
01:00:34,339 --> 01:00:37,258
so, either everyone is guilty,
or everyone is innocent.
705
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:44,974
Moggi was the ideal scapegoat
for the world of football,
706
01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:48,770
a world that wanted to clean up its image
707
01:00:48,853 --> 01:00:52,440
by sacrificing Luciano Moggi.
708
01:00:55,860 --> 01:01:02,784
I was constantlyworried
that our case had been damaged.
709
01:01:03,743 --> 01:01:05,828
It was a tough time.
710
01:01:18,424 --> 01:01:20,009
The big day has arrived.
711
01:01:20,677 --> 01:01:25,848
They will be announcing the verdict
in the Calciopoli trial.
712
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:32,146
For Luciano Moggi,
the moment of truth has arrived.
713
01:01:34,190 --> 01:01:36,943
Nothing like this
had ever been done before,
714
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:41,906
so nobody could predict the verdict.
715
01:02:06,806 --> 01:02:09,308
In accordance with article 29
of the criminal code,
716
01:02:10,268 --> 01:02:13,604
Luciano Moggi is found guilty.
717
01:02:13,688 --> 01:02:17,358
Luciano Moggi, this court sentences you
to five years and four months in prison.
718
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:30,538
I was so pleased.
719
01:02:31,873 --> 01:02:38,171
The verdict silenced all the critics.
720
01:02:39,380 --> 01:02:41,466
COURT OF LAW
721
01:02:41,549 --> 01:02:42,800
The truth won.
722
01:03:07,533 --> 01:03:09,994
Bibi. Hey, hey.
723
01:03:16,501 --> 01:03:19,086
You've been released.
724
01:03:19,170 --> 01:03:22,673
You're not locked up anymore.
725
01:03:23,758 --> 01:03:26,969
You're free now. Yes.
726
01:03:38,606 --> 01:03:42,235
I proved that I was innocent.
727
01:03:43,361 --> 01:03:48,032
If no matches were fixed,
if the referees were all acquitted,
728
01:03:48,825 --> 01:03:52,703
was football really broken?
729
01:03:56,415 --> 01:03:59,269
Of all the referees
and officials caught up in the scandal,
730
01:03:59,293 --> 01:04:03,798
Massimo De Santis was the only one
whose conviction was upheld.
731
01:04:04,924 --> 01:04:08,344
Everybody else who was convicted
was either acquitted on appeal,
732
01:04:08,427 --> 01:04:13,349
or, because so much time had elapsed,
the statute of limitations kicked in
733
01:04:13,432 --> 01:04:15,768
and their convictions were written off.
734
01:04:21,524 --> 01:04:25,236
Those who led the Calciopoli trial
735
01:04:25,319 --> 01:04:27,738
will have to face a different judge
736
01:04:27,822 --> 01:04:32,410
with no chance for appeal.
737
01:04:33,286 --> 01:04:36,414
Jesus Christ. He's the Supreme Judge.
738
01:04:40,001 --> 01:04:41,085
Hello.
739
01:04:42,003 --> 01:04:45,339
Listen, I'll tell you something.
740
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,344
You could try the ex-Juventus player.
741
01:04:50,428 --> 01:04:52,972
Okay. Bye.
742
01:05:02,148 --> 01:05:06,235
Who knows what Moggi is doing now?
743
01:05:07,653 --> 01:05:09,280
Life goes on.
744
01:05:14,785 --> 01:05:16,704
When I watch a match now,
745
01:05:17,496 --> 01:05:21,208
I'm never sure...
746
01:05:22,668 --> 01:05:25,713
they're totally clean.
747
01:05:29,383 --> 01:05:33,596
This case has totally changed
748
01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:38,184
my perspective on football...
749
01:05:39,268 --> 01:05:41,020
and revealed its dark side.
