2011–12 Italian football match-fixing scandal

None The 2011–12 Italian football match-fixing scandal emerged on 1 June 2011 after a number of football-related figures were arrested or placed under official scrutiny by Italian police for alleged match-fixing.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13620144 BBC Sport 5 June 2011 1 June 2011 Italy: Giuseppe Signori held in football fixing probehttp://english.gazzetta.it/Football/01-06-2011/maxi-investigation-on-betting-801443349776.shtml La Gazzetta dello Sport 5 June 2011 1 June 2011 Italy: Giuseppe Signori held in football fixing probe dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110616080325/http://english.gazzetta.it/Football/01-06-2011/maxi-investigation-on-betting-801443349776.shtml 16 June 2011 The list included well-known figures like former Italian international footballer Giuseppe Signori, as well as former Serie A players Mauro Bressan, Stefano Bettarini and Cristiano Doni. The group was accused of having fixed a wide range of Serie B, Lega Pro Prima Divisione and Lega Pro Seconda Divisione games. The inquiry started following a denunciation from Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Cremonese, instigated by internal suspicions involving first team goalkeeper Marco Paoloni, who was sold to Benevento in January 2011. First investigation, June 2011 Involved figures Marco Paoloni: Benevento goalkeeper, under arrest; deemed to be a central figure in the organization, accused of having actively worked to fix games in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione league in games involving Cremonese (where he played until January 2011) and Benevento (a team he joined during the winter transfer window), including having deliberately doped his former Cremonese teammates in order to fix a game. Also accused of having collected illegal bets and organized match fixes for the whole organization. Giuseppe Signori: former Italian international footballer and Serie A topscorer, under house arrest; suspected of having placed illegal bets. Stefano Bettarini: former Italian international footballer, under investigation; suspected of being a member of the criminal match fixing organization. Antonio Bellavista: former Bari captain, under investigation; suspected of being a member of the criminal match fixing organization. Mauro Bressan: former Serie A player, under investigation; suspected of being a member of the criminal match fixing organization. Cristiano Doni: Atalanta captain and former Italian international footballer, under investigation; suspected of being a member of the criminal match fixing organization. Vittorio Micolucci: Ascoli player, under arrest; suspected of having actively worked in order to fix Serie B games for the criminal match fixing organization. Vincenzo Sommese: Ascoli player, under arrest; suspected of having actively worked in order to fix Serie B games for the criminal match fixing organization. Gianfranco Parlato: Viareggio coaching staff member and former Serie B player, under arrest; suspected of having actively worked in order to fix Lega Pro Prima Divisione games for the criminal match fixing organization. Some of the involved persons had already been questioned or condemned for similar charges: Cristiano Doni was acquitted in 2000, whereas Vincenzo Sommese (in 2007) and Stefano Bettarini (in 2005) were each disqualified for six months due to illegal betting. Potential consequences Following the inquiry, media speculated about the possibility that Atalanta and Siena might lose their right to play in Serie A in 2011–12. Atalanta's situation was considered particularly delicate due to the direct involvement of Cristiano Doni in the match fixing process, whereas Siena was accused of having paid Sassuolo players in order to obtain a win by more than three goals (game ended 4–0); Sassuolo, Ascoli, Padova and Piacenza were also mentioned in the inquiry and were at risk of being punished by the Federation due to the "objective responsibility" law.http://www.repubblica.it/rubriche/spycalcio/2011/06/05/news/atalanta_addio_serie_a_ecco_tutti_i_club_che_rischiano-17236872/ La Repubblica 5 June 2011 5 June 2011 Atalanta, addio serie A?
