Prosecutors Request Dismissal for Gianluca Rocchi's Case

Milan prosecutors have sought dismissal of Gianluca Rocchi's sports fraud case due to lack of evidence. Rocchi, a former referee designator, faced allegations of complicity in sporting fraud related to referee assignments in Serie A and B. The case now heads to sports justice for potential disciplinary action.

Milan prosecutors have requested the dismissal of a sports fraud case involving Gianluca Rocchi, the former referee designator for Italy's Serie A and Serie B, citing insufficient evidence, as reported by the Italian news agency ANSA.

Rocchi, who had resigned from his position in April to allow legal proceedings to proceed without interference, was under investigation for alleged complicity in sporting fraud over referee assignments during four matches. Among these was a Torino match against Inter Milan in a recently concluded Serie A season.

The prosecutors, after a thorough two-year investigation, concluded that no concrete evidence of match-fixing was found. However, the case documents have been forwarded to sports justice authorities and the Italian Olympic Committee's General Prosecutor's Office to evaluate if any disciplinary breaches arose.
