Italy’s Football Federation (FIGC) prose

Rome, ITALY: Italy’s Football Federation (FIGC) prosecutor Stefano Palazzi arrives at the Rome’s Olympic stadium where a soccer league trial is to take place 29 June 2006. Italian football went on trial Thursday at a sports tribunal hearing in Rome that will decide whether four of the country’s top clubs colluded to rig matches over a period of several years. The scandal, which broke last month, has dominated headlines in football-crazed Italy, and could result in the teams being excluded from European competition and relegated to second-division play.
