Moratti slams matchfixing scandal reports

On Friday former Juventus director Luciano Moggi's lawyers presented in court wiretaps of Moratti speaking to a former referee selector accused of colluding with Moggi and others to arrange compliant referees for some teams' matches.

Prosecutors said the contents of the wiretaps did not indicate any wrongdoing.

"This matchfixing matter is shameful," Moratti told reporters on Saturday. "This reversal is ridiculous. It offends us. We are absolutely not indifferent to it as it's an ugly thing."

Moggi's lawyers said they presented the wiretaps at a Naples criminal trial to show that other clubs' executives had the same sort of relations he did with Italian Football Federation (FIGC) officials.
