Will Inter face any sanctions?

With the power that Inter now has with the FIGC, will they be punished for the Suazo incident, as well as the whole issue of finances as had surfaced earlier this past season?

This artice:Click here implies that had certain revalations been made before, they would not have been allowed to compete in the Serie A last season:

"Financial balance would have been lost if the club had shown the losses connected to the fictitious capital gains and Inter would not have fitted the parameters asked for by Covisoc for registration in the 2005-06 championship," the commission said in a statement.

Now when one combines the two glaring examples of rule breaking, with the fact that Inter now has more power in Italian football, (arguably) than Juve had at the pinnacle of the Moggi era, how can anyone conclude that they will face any but the softest of slaps on the wrist?

Can you imagine however, if it were Milan, or Juve so implicated? We would be banned from Serie A competition for at least a year (if not demoted to Serie B, which, would be better than not being able to play at all), as well as barred from making any transfers for 100 years!

With financial transperancy becoming increasingly important, it is unconcionable that Inter would/could get away with this, on top of their flagrant disregard for the transfer regulations...but maybe that is how the "cookie crumbles" in Italy nowadays.

Milan were also mentioned in the financial irregularities case, but moreso from a transfer standpoint, again, involving Inter, and Morattidiot.

Anyone with any details of what is currently the thinking in Italy re possible sanctions for Inter?

Will Inter´s scudetto be rescinded? Doubt it, but lets see...the article goes further to state:

Roberto Mancini's side won last season's title on the pitch rather than a court room and so far there is no suggestion from official bodies that the club will face a serious sporting sanction as a result of the transfer probe.

How pathetic can the FIGC get?

i hope they do, the FIGC would have to be a) very stupid, and b) very naive if they hadnt noticed the only club that gained from the calciopoli was Inter.

In fairness terms if Inter have fiddled there books, that is alot worse than what Milan were punished for. If your going to punish one team, you have to do it to all.

If Inter arent punished then there should be outcry in Italy, and if there allowed to stay the reputation of Italy football would take another dent..

Think Viera and co saying we didnt belong in Champ league, they really cant talk can they..

Does anyone know the extent of our involvement?

Hasan, as far as I understand, we were implicated in some "strange" transfers between Inter and ourselves, with some forgery or alleged forgery of player signatures, for inflated fees...(between Inter and ourselves) but again, based on what I can recall, nothing much came of it, if anything....

The other financial issues Inter are facing have less to do with transfers, and more to do with false accounting, ie making the club appear to have more assests (for example) than it really does...whereas the transfer specific issue insofar as they are concerned at present, is about Suazo.

I would say that Milan has not been implicated following the investigations into those "over-priced" player transfers...but I could be wrong...what leads me to believe this now, is that were we even remotely guilty, Inter would ensure that we got as severe a punishment as could be justified.

Yeah most news outlets are saying that although we're being investigated, the observation (Financial balance would have been lost if the club had shown the losses connected to the fictitious capital gains and Inter would not have fitted the parameters asked for by Covisoc for registration in the 2005-06 championship,' the commission said in a statement) applies only to Inter. God willing.

Could Inter be demoted?

Wednesday 20 June, 2007

Lawyers warn that Inter could be demoted to Serie B if the financial scandal is proved in the sporting courts!

The club has been named as part of an investigation into creative accounting in Serie A and a member of the Covisoc – the association that performs financial checks on Italian clubs – accused them of fiddling their 2005-06 accounts with artificially inflated player values, known as plusvalenze.

We are also mentioned, but it seems that the charges against us are of lesser consequence than those against Inter....

Please god almighty send them to Seria B

Look at the other side also, my first thought was tha Inter should be regelated because it was the "innocent", the "Saint" in Calciopoli. But think how the champioship will be again. This year without Milan and Juve there was no interest maybe that will happen if now Inter will be regelated?

Actually relegation for Inter would be disastrous for the league. Serie A would lose its luster (even more) and financially it would be a catastrophe.

Let's just hope they get no punishment, and we dismantle them 6-0 in both derbies next season.

Stripping them of both "titles" would suffice for me...but will that happen? Doubt it. Inter are simply too powerful right now..but this remains a football issue, and one thing is certain: Anything is possible in football.

Me too.

As much as I hate Inter and hope they they never win a single title in their history.................for the sake of the league and Italian football in general I hope that all this will stop once and for all and let everyone get on with it.

let's just confiscate their fax machine.
demoting them to serie B is bad for Italy but letting them off scot-free is injustice to all the clubs which has been penalised last season.

yea i agree with every1 else here..i hope they dont get denmoted than again every1 will look down on the italian league and milan will have to prove to them again that an italian team is capable or winning a europeon title....

But why ?
Wasn't a season without Juve enough for serie A ?
I don't like Inter for what they ( directly or indirectly) have done to my team but i'd hate it to see them suffer as Juve has suffered.
Not every team is Juventus, you know. There is a possibility Inter not to come back as strong as Juve (probably) will, and the league will lose a lot if that happens.
And what will we get if Inter is in B ? We can make fun of our Interisti friends ! Well, we do that anyway.
We can get their players like they did with Juve's players last year and we'll find it easier to win a scudetto. But i don't want someone to say "You won it because Inter wasn't playing in A" and i don't want the league where my team plays to get weaker and weaker.

I'm all for Inter being stripped off their scudetto from 2006 ( i don't want them to lose the one from 2007...they deserved it) and some small -8 or -10 points deduction, but i'm totally against Inter being demoted !
