The Italian soccer federation has opened a new investigation into
the four-year-old match-fixing scandal that has shaken some of its
top clubs.
The federation issued a statement Wednesday saying it would
seek documents from a criminal trial in Naples after revelations
allegedly linking Inter Milan and other clubs to the scandal.
Inter Milan was awarded the 2006 Serie A title after Juventus
was stripped of the honor and relegated to Serie B because of its
involvement in the scandal.
The scandal has been the biggest corruption case in the
history of Italian soccer. Besides Juventus, three other major
clubs - AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina - were penalized. Reggina
and Arezzo were also punished.
