In just one night, the evidence that Gao Han unveiled at the Meazza stadium spread rapidly from Milan to every corner of Italy, throughout Europe and around the world, at an incredible speed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The media and fans around the world were stunned.

No one thought that Serie A, known as the first of the four major European leagues, would still hide such a shady scene.

What's more, Gao Han actually took a huge risk to debunk this conspiracy in person.

Overnight, the whole news quickly fermented, and Gao Han quickly occupied the front pages of major media around the world.

Because the ironclad evidence provided by Gao Han came from the recording of telephone tapping, the media invariably gave the storm a code name, Telephonegate.

But on the cusp of this limelight, Juventus general manager Moggi launched a counterattack.

After returning to Turin that evening, he was interviewed by a number of media outlets, including the Torino Sports newspaper, and publicly accused Gao Han's remarks of being irresponsible and fabricating evidence.

"Now the media is full of prejudice against me, with a vicious and hostile mentality to stir up trouble in order to get their sales. ”

"I don't know why Gao Han is so slanderous, his team has already won the championship early, he should be satisfied with this result, but compared to the results achieved by Inter Milan, he seems to care more about the halo above his head. ”

"You know, there are always people in the world who wish the whole world would bow down to him. ”

As for the evidence provided by Gao Han, Moji said that the phone recording was indeed real, and the call was also made by him.

"I don't think the phone recordings prove anything, I've been in Serie A for so many years, I've been very good friends with the likes of Pajreto and Matei, we joke together on weekdays, and I've even told people that I'm going to poach Gao Han to coach at Juventus, but then I changed my mind. ”

"I don't know who tapped our phone, but it's absolutely illegal, and I'm going to file a complaint right away and block all tapping recordings. ”

As for the attacks he faced, Moji said he was used to it.

"We at Juventus have been the most influential team in Serie A and Europe over the years, and it's true that the higher you climb, the more trouble you have, and that's a rule of life and it's the same in professional football. ”

"So, people like me have to have a character that is always full of courage and keeps moving forward. ”

But just when Moji's report had just been put on the market, and I am afraid that it had not even attracted much public attention, some mainstream media in Europe and even the world received a copy of the materials sent by Gao Han himself, including all the materials collected by Gao Han in the past period of time and obtained from anonymous people about the phonegate incident.

Once again, there was an uproar in the media.

Italy's Milan Sport newspaper was the first to report on the incident in a large way, and many media newspapers such as the British Sun, the German newspaper Bild, the French team newspaper and the Spanish newspaper Marca newspaper published Gao Han's submissions.

It includes transcripts of phone calls between Moggi and Football Association officials, referee committee officials, and many Serie A referees over the past two years, and it clearly shows the fact that he is manipulating referee assignments.

But just when public opinion was rapidly fermenting, Carraro, president of the Italian Football Federation, held a press conference in Rome.

At the meeting, Carraro made it clear that he was dissatisfied and criticized Gao Han's approach, considering it a challenge to the existing rules of Italian football and a very irresponsible act.

"I want all the people in Italian football to remain calm and not be taken advantage of by outside opinion. ”

"Gao Han's approach is not in line with the rules at all, as a professional manager, what he should do is to transfer all the materials he has to the Football Association, which will verify the authenticity and then decide whether to make the next move, rather than announcing it to the outside world on his own initiative, which will cause incalculable losses to the Serie A. ”

"Yes, we are carefully studying whether to punish Gao Han's behavior or even file a complaint. ”

Carraro's statement made the entire public opinion explode again, and even greatly stimulated the fans.

Everyone couldn't believe it, shouldn't he have thoroughly investigated this matter at this time and told the public the truth? Why did he think about putting out the fire and even punishing Gao Han?

The media began to speculate that Carraro himself was not clean, and this was also shown in the evidence of the high cold.

As soon as Carraro's words fell, the Italian Sports Court also responded to public opinion and held a press conference.

Interestingly, the attitude of the sports court is diametrically opposed to that of the Italian Football Federation.

A spokesman for the sports court said that leaving all the evidence in the hands of the Football Association would not make the matter better resolved, and if the Italian prosecutorial system is unwilling to investigate the matter thoroughly and file criminal proceedings against Moggi and others, then the sports court has the power to impose the most severe penalties on those who have truly violated the rules of Italian professional football.

This body, which is independent of the Italian Football Federation, was immediately warmly welcomed by public opinion and fans after this round of statements.

At the same time, as public opinion heats up, more and more forces against Moji's power have gradually emerged.

Flaino, who is now the president of Ravenna and was previously the president of Moggie during his time in Naples, publicly broke the news in the media that Moggie played a role in Maradona's cocaine abuse incident, and he was also suspected of helping Maradona falsify the test.

Soon, Perugia President Gauci also came forward and revealed in an interview with the media that the son of Carraro, the president of the Italian Football Federation, and the daughter of Gelonci, the chairman of Italy's largest bank, jointly run a football business company, and have close contacts with the GEA company of Moggi's son Moggi Jr.

GEA is no slouch either, as the brokerage tycoon, who controls more than 70 percent of Italian football's business, was quickly exposed for its use of intimidation and violence against players in transfers, and has collected enough evidence.

In other words, the evidence provided by Gao Han in the revelations has been confirmed by Shunteng.

At this time, the Roman prosecutor's office also publicly announced that it would open a case to investigate GEA and sent a court summons to Moji Jr.

This also made Little Moji the first defendant in the phonegate incident.

With the revelation of Carraro's relationship with GEA, public opinion has once again become angry, accusing the Italian Football Federation of inaction and corruption, with President Carraro bearing the brunt.

In order to calm the anger of the people, the Italian referee committee responded immediately, suspending the positions of Paireto and Matei in the remaining three rounds of the league, and the four Serie A gold medal referees, including DeSantis, were also suspended, and the bald referee Corina temporarily served as the referee appointee, responsible for the referee assignment business.

The Italian Football Federation also officially issued an announcement, saying that the Football Association is fully investigating Paireto and Matei and others.

However, the Football Association officials, including the president of the Football Association, Carraro, and the vice-president Mazzini, who were involved in the phonegate incident, remained in office, and Mazzini said in an interview with the media that he believed that the impartiality of the judiciary would restore their innocence.

Just as public opinion was heating up, Prodi, the newly appointed Italian Prime Minister, published a signed article in the Turin News, openly supporting Gao Han's move to expose the phonegate incident, believing that this was a major contribution to Italy's anti-corruption work.

"Italy needs a moral shock, and Italian football needs a thorough investigation!"

From the statement of the highest government official, the following public opinion quickly exploded.

The prosecutor's office in Rome, Naples, Milan, Turin and other regions immediately moved to launch a thorough investigation of the phonegate incident.

In fact, all the evidence has already been collected a lot, and now that it is in full swing, the truth that has been revealed one after another has surprised the whole world, no one thought that Moggi would be able to do whatever he wanted in Italian football to such a point, and even dared to lock the referee team in the referee's lounge after the game, and no one dared to mention it.

What is even more shocking is that Moji's connections with a number of key government officials are even more involved in political corruption.

For a time, the phonegate incident quickly triggered a shocking storm that swept through the three worlds of Italian politics, business and football.

…………

Turin, Italy, headquarters of the Fiat Group.

In the high-level conference room, the chairman of the Fiat Group, Montezemolo, the president, Gaberti, the vice chairman, John Elkann, and the member of the board of directors and the great-grandson of the elder Agnelli, AndrΓ© Agnelli, gathered together.

What allowed the four most powerful and influential figures in the Fiat Kingdom to sit down for a meeting and discuss it was the phonegate incident that had rapidly fermented in recent days.

"Now the outside world is overwhelming, and everyone is pointing the finger at us Juventus, which is obviously unacceptable. ”

Speaking was the future heir of the Kingdom of Fiat, Vice Chairman John Elkan.

"Last year, the drug ban incident just subsided, and now there is another phonegate incident, I don't know what more scandals will follow, but all of us can't accept that this kind of thing happens again and again, and someone has to be responsible for these things and wash away the shame of the family and the group. ”

After many years of experience within the group, Johan Elkan's abilities have been recognized by everyone as a recognized future successor, and his statement is representative of the attitude of the Agnelli family.

As the Italian royal family in everyone's mouth, the Agnelli family will never allow its Juventus to repeatedly break out such scandals.

Especially this time, even the Italian Prime Minister came forward.

"Girawudo and Moggi have gone too far this time, and our group has been too indulgent of them over the years because of their good results, but it's certainly not a healthy long-term business. ”

After his cousin John Elkan expressed his attitude, AndrΓ© Agnelli also took a stand.

"My opinion is that this phonegate incident has had some impact on us, but it has also given us a chance to put Juventus in order and make this team a glory for the family and the group again. ”

Both representatives of the Agnelli family took a stand, and neither did the other two.

"But the question now is, who will take over Juventus?" asked Montzemorro, the chairman of the group, with concern.

Juventus is like a business card for the Fiat Group and for the Agnelli family, which is very important and must be held tightly in the hand.

From the standpoint of the four of them, abolishing Girawudo and Moji is just a gesture, and the key is how to deal with the aftermath.

Just when everyone was feeling embarrassed, AndrΓ© Agnelli took the initiative to ask.

"I'll go. ”

"I agree, it's a good fit for Andre to go, but we should find a suitable top spot for him. John Elkan immediately spoke out in support.

It was clear that both had already made a decision beforehand.

Even so, neither Montzemoro nor Gaberti were against it.

In this way, the fate of Giraudo, Moggi and Bettegar's tragic abandonment was pronounced!
