"Calciopoli", Galliani and Moratti's phone calls have been found http://www.calciomercato.com/index.php?c=46&a=173762The news comes from the defence lawyers and, in the meanwhile, witness Auricchio continues to say his favourite words: "I can't remember".
Dramatic turn of events in Calciopoli's case: phone calls between Paolo Bergamo, former designator, and Inter Milan's managers (Massimo Moratti, Giacinto Facchetti) have been found. During the second-to-last ruling, some phone calls between Bergamo and Maria Grazia Fazi, his personal assistant and Aia's (Italian referees' association) former secretary have been cited, where they talked about a dinner with Facchetti, Inter Milan's president at that time, that had to take place the evening of the 5th of January 2005, and some phone calls about the organization of the event, that was hold on the eve of the match Livorno-Inter 0-2.
Lieutenant colonel Attilio Auricchio, key witness of the whole accusatorial system, and prosecutor Narducci had confessed to know nothing about the reasons that just "those" phone calls were not in the informative report and something could have slipped by.
Yesterday, there was a dramatic turn of the events. The defence's lawyers seem to have found, among many others, the mobile calls made by Bergamo to Moratti and the other ones with Facchetti, who, according to Bergamo, used to phone not less than twice a week. And there is something more: many contacts between Adriano Galliani, Lega's president at that time (and also AC Milan's president) and Pierluigi Pairetto, former designator with Bergamo seem to have been found. The conversations have not been heard yet. From the way the investigation has been going on, the number of wiretaps, whose target seems to have been the former designator, has been revealed: 51 000! Those who have been dying for the truth, cannot wait to listent to the tapes. Were these protests or referees' scheme games like the very famous one between Luciano Moggi and Bergamo, when Juventus former general director used to ask who "had studied more"? Was it an exchange of points of view or requests for favours? The last few days of the court ruling have been decisive. Attilio «I can't remember» Auricchio has been given a hard time by Massimo De Santis (former referee), Paolo Bergamo (former designator), Andrea and Diego Della Valle, Sandro Mencucci (Fiorentina's owners and managers) and Mariano Fabiani's (Messina's former sports director) lawyers.
The answers that have been given are unbelievable: so evasive that they highlight the doubts about the "(almost) only meaning" of the investigation: Juventus anyway and then we will see what happens. An example: if you think about the fact that Della Valle brothers have been negotiating with Bergamo to save their position (season 2004-2005), and if you know about the summit held in a hotel in Florence, you cannot be satisified of the news without spreading rumours around the tables to shed light on possilbe deals. Even judge Teresa Casoria lost her patience and it is not the first time. To know the conversations among Bergamo, Moratti and Facchetti, and between Galliani and Pairetto, we have to wait for next round that is due on the 13th of April.
