The Milan investigation into Italy's refereeing system is widening. According to Corriere della Sera, prosecutors have issued new summons, complicating the position of former referee Gianluca Rocchi. The allegations have not only become more serious but have also expanded the number of matches under investigation from three to four. The most recent match under scrutiny is the Torino-Inter match of April 26, 2026. According to the prosecutor's argument, Rocchi appointed referee Maurizio Mariani only after gaining approval from the Nerazzurri club, which initially rejected the official. There is additional news about the Inter-Verona match in May 2025: the prosecution says that Rocchi chose Gianluca Manganiello specifically to avoid appointing Simone Sozza, another referee disliked by Inter's management. The investigation has taken a significant turn with the reclassification of the alleged offence. The magistrates no longer refer to "accepted interference" in a generic manner; rather, they suggest that the designations were allegedly "revised" in order to facilitate sports fraud. According to the prosecution, Rocchi acted "in collaboration with representatives of Inter Football Club and in prior agreement with them". According to the prosecution, this collaboration was backed by high-level protections and took advantage of "preferential relationships with Gabriele Gravina, president of the Italian Football Federation" (who recently resigned after the national team failed to qualify for the World Cup). Gravina and the individual Inter executives are not currently under investigation, as they have not yet been identified with specific evidence. Meanwhile, the Milan investigation has dropped the chapter concerning the alleged "knocks" at the VAR operations room in Lissone. The documents will be separated and sent to the Monza Prosecutor's Office for territorial jurisdiction. The Milanese team, which is under the leadership of Marcello Viola and the recently appointed Paolo Ielo, is committed to concluding the investigation by the end of the month, prior to the transfer of the current prosecutor, Ascione, on July 16. The most critical issue remains to be determined: whether the referee appointments' pressure actually influenced the proper conduct of the matches. If that cannot be proven, the most likely outcome will be a request to dismiss the case.
