Mauri released from jail in match-fixing probe

Mauri had been in jail since he was was arrested on May 28 on suspicion of sporting fraud and fraudulent association along with former Genoa midfielder Omar Milanetto, now with Serie B side Padova, who was also granted house arrest on Monday.

Judge Guido Salvini said aspects of Mauri's defence were "scarcely plausible" but the case for keeping him in custody had still been "considerably reduced" after questioning.

Salvini said that, as a result of the interrogations, "dark clouds" now also hung over last season's derby between Genoa and Sampdoria, though this game was still not being officially investigated.
