The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Parma have denied allegations that the result of their final Serie B match of the season was fixed to allow them to secure promotion. The Italian side beat Spezia 2-0 to secure second place in the table and a return to Serie A. It is their third promotion in as many seasons following their relegation from the top flight due to bankruptcy. However, reports in Italy state an investigation has been opened into the match, and Parma confirmed that two of their players - Emanuele Calaio and Fabio Ceravolo - went to the Federal Prosecutor's Office in Rome on Friday. The duo were asked to account for two text messages that were sent to former team-mates of theirs that are now playing for Spezia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Where did you hear this? I believe you, but I'm not seeing anything about this on Google or Football Italia or any other of the news sources I visit. If true, the state of Italian football is disgusting.

Eco 3,008 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I read a couple of sky reports on this. Interesting how this isn't in the big Italian Calcio sports websites, but on Sky. If true, burn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 1,437 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 To be fair I'd be texting my former teammates in that situation. I'd be asking them to throw the game but I'd just be taking the piss and it wouldn't really mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Quote Parma players set for trial Parma pair Emanuele Calaio and Fabio Ceravolo will appear in court for text messages implying possible match-fixing en route to their Serie A promotion. Gazzetta di Parma reports the messages were sent to Spezia duo Filippo De Col and Alberto Masi before Parma’s 2-0 win on May 18, which secured their return to the top flight. However, one of the players would have showed them to CEO Luigi Micheli, who in turn informed the authorities so as to avoid his club being accused of failing to report any possible acts of wrongdoing. They were then probed by the FIGC’s prosecutor, who has since referred Calaio and Ceravolo to its Federal National Court, the Gialloblu strikers due to stand before a judge ‘within 10 days’. As for the punishments facing Parma, ANSA warns the club could be relegated back to Serie B before the new season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
