Where To Buy Scarves In Mississuga

The case of Asian Totonero

Since summer 1978, several rumors indicate a traffic original Mafia, which corrode the inside of Italian football. According to some journalists, Totocalcio (equivalent to the former Lotto Sport in France today Loto Foot) is controversial. Black money around (hence the name: Totonero) and some matches were rigged, involving the players, for bettors enriching themselves at will.


Nothing is proven until the scandal broke in two games of the Serie A during the 1979-1980 season (Avellino, Perugia of December 30, 1979 and Milan-Lazio of January 6, 1980 ) and on the basis of testimony of two Roman traders, Alvaro and Massimo Trinca Cruciano, who complain, embittered by their recent losses and want to recover money lost through the courts.


Occasionally-Perugia match Avellino, Paolo Rossi is accused of having shared with three teammates $ 8 million lire to settle a tie. According to other witnesses, the attacker would have refused the money against the possibility of recording two goals. Paolo Rossi actually enrolled two goals after a meeting ended with a score of parity (2-2).

Paolo Rossi, calcio star at the time, is one of the players most heavily sentenced with three years of suspension (He will do that 2). As one of the shortlisted players to compete in the European Nations Championship held in Italy at the end of the season, Rossi threatens to leave the Italian league and complaint against the federation. But his conviction by a civil court for "illegal activities related to illegal football paris" deprives him of his passport.

Milan will be officially relegated to Serie B with a penalty of 25 points. Some of these players are suspended: Albertosi (4 years), Morini (1 year) and Chiodi (6 months). The club president Lombard, Felice Colombo, is prohibited for life from football field. Lazio will also dive in the second division.

never released either by the press or by Enzo Bearzot, the coach of Italy, Paolo Rossi will return in 1982, just months before the World Cup. Paolo Rossi hat-trick against the will of Brazil Zico (3-2), two against Poland Lato in half (2-0) and one against Germany Rummenigge (3-1) in the final. He is the best scorer in the world cup 1982. He then joined Juventus of Michel Platini and win the Champions Cup in 1985.
