In the inquiry room of the Naples prosecutor's office, Moggi sat in his chair, looking calm.
Beside him, trofino, a lawyer, was a little nervous. He kept telling Moggi what to say and what to say as little as possible when he saw the prosecutor.
Moggi was a little absent-minded, because his heart was not as calm as he saw it on the surface.
In the past few days, things have changed dramatically.
At first, the Italian Football Association came out to put pressure, or wanted to turn the big things into small things, or even vaguely point the finger at the cold. But at the critical moment, the media gathered together to attack, plus the statements of prime minister Prodi and a number of government officials, all pushed the phone door incident to the forefront.
Everyone can see that the new government is going to use the telephone door to build up power.
This argument has been around for some time, but Moggi has been keeping in touch with the new government secretly and has done a lot of work, which could have been passed smoothly, but unexpectedly, the high cold suddenly came forward.
This completely wasted his efforts in the past.
Now things are completely out of control.
The four gold medal referees involved in the case were suspended from law enforcement, and paireto and Mattei were also suspended from their duties. Even the chairman of the Football Association Carraro and vice chairman mazny were affected, and the latter was even removed from the World Cup team.
The government has also made up its mind in the thorough investigation, with the four procuratorates of Rome, Milan, Turin and Napoli working together.
The Rome prosecutor's office is responsible for investigating the football association and the referee committee, as well as the shady scenes of GEA, while Napoli are responsible for investigating Moggi and Juve.
That's why Moggi is in Naples.
What's more hateful is that they even gave a representative to the case involving Moggi, dome.
As everyone knows, the Naples procuratorate has always been responsible for the investigation of the Mafia, and the dome in their code name means the Mafia's command system, which is equivalent to telling everyone that Moggi is behind the whole phone door incident.
In the past few days, Moggi has been out of the woods, even not going to the team, because he can feel that this will be the biggest disaster he has ever encountered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Moggi. As long as you do as I say, you will be fine." Trofino, the lawyer, reassured.
Moggi nodded blankly, not knowing if he would remember.
Just then, the door of the inquiry room was opened.
The two prosecutors came in one after another. They didn't look very old, but they didn't have any kindness in their eyes. On the contrary, they looked like hungry wolves staring at lambs.
Moggi hated the look, but he couldn't help it.
Slapping twice, both prosecutors put the two stacks of thick materials on the table.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Moggi." The man on the left chuckled, "we've been waiting for you for a long time."
"In view of the numerous involvement of the telephone gate incident, according to the arrangement, our Napoli procuratorate is responsible for the investigation of you and Juve. We are the prosecutor of this investigation. My name is Giuseppe narduchi, and this is my colleague Filippo Beatrice."
"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Moggi." Beatrice said hello politely, but there was a deep irony in his smile.
Moggi doesn't like these two guys at all. If it was normal, he would not hesitate to stand up, scold and then turn around. But now, he has to bow his head.
"Two prosecutors, I think there must be a mistake. I'm innocent. The whole phone door incident has nothing to do with me. There is no so-called dome or Moji gang. I was planted and framed."
Moggi's reaction seemed to be within the prosecutors' expectation. They opened their chairs with a smile and sat down opposite.
"You said you were innocent. What about the recording?" Asked naldurch.
"Telephone recording?" Moggi looked innocent. "To tell you the truth, those phone recordings are real, but what does that mean? I've been friends with payretto and Matty for many years. We're joking together. What's the matter? "
"Well, even if you think my joke in the telephone recording has gone too far, you can go and find out which team in the whole Italian Serie A and Serie B League has no close contact with the referee's designator? Who hasn't communicated with the referee's designator and hopes to arrange a referee who is more beneficial to him? "
Speaking of this, Moggi looks like I have no choice but to sigh.
"To tell you the truth, two prosecutors, all I have done is for one purpose, that is, Juve, which is the most important team in Serie A, and you know, we are the only team in Serie A that doesn't need the boss's money. We can support ourselves and support ourselves. We can see how healthy our finance is."
"Just ask, a team with such healthy finance and outstanding achievements in the past few years will always arouse resentment from other teams, and they will try every means to frame us, won't they?"
Naldurch and betroth looked at each other, and obviously both saw Moggi's eloquence.
It's an old fox.
"And how do you explain the papalesta thing?" Bitros asked. "I have to remind you that papalesta confessed everything at the Rome prosecutor's office, so you have to think clearly."
"Mr. prosecutor, can I take that as a threat?" Moggi's lawyer, trofino, beat back.
"Whatever." Bitros didn't care.
Moggi looked at his lawyer, thought about it, and said, "yes, I admit that I locked him in the dressing room, and we did intimidate him not to speak out, but what I want to say is that it was an irrational act of anger as a team leader."
"Frankly speaking, I regret it very much after it happened. I don't want to kidnap anyone, so I also want to apologize to paresta. If you want to investigate my fault in this respect, I am willing to accept punishment."
Obviously, it's a move to avoid the heavy and take the light.
The two prosecutors gave each other a look of helplessness. They knew this guy was not so easy to deal with.
"So how do you explain that you're talking on the phone with payreto and Matty about the referee assignment?"
"Is that the case?" Moggi, I have to think about it carefully. After a few seconds, I said, "I don't think so. Even if I do, I must have drunk and joked with them. You know, I'm a fan. I'm very interested in knowing which referees will be more interesting if they enforce the law. But it's just a joke."
"What about the car you gave to Paletto?"
"Oh, please, as I said before, it's not a gift, it's a loan." Moggi shook his head innocently and sighed.
"As I told you before, he and I are very good friends for many years. He wants to buy a car, but he has no money. If he wants to borrow money from me, of course I can't say no, so he bought it for him. Isn't it very common between two friends? Can't I be a friend just because I am the general manager of the club and he works in the football association? "
The two prosecutors finally saw Moggi's eloquence and pushed everything to the end, avoiding the heavy and avoiding the light, making it impossible for them to start.
Fortunately, they have been prepared for a long time.
"Mr. Moggi, we have received evidence from the Rome prosecutor's office. You have statements and related materials from former interior minister Pisanu, former economic minister siniscalco, as well as some judges and financial police. The investigation against the football association is also led by prosecutor Stefano Palaci. You should have heard of him."
Moggi's face changed when he heard this.
"I can tell you very clearly that we have enough evidence about the phone door incident. You, the football association and the referees don't want to escape. Therefore, our suggestion is that you'd better cooperate with us frankly."
Moggi began to keep silent, but his face became a little embarrassed.
At least, he's not as aggressive as he was just now.
"In addition, I want to tell you one more thing. We have enough evidence to sue your son, that is, Moggi Jr. and his GEA company for manipulating the transfer of Serie A and playing a crucial role in the 2004-05 Serie A Gambling case
When Moggi heard this, he was shocked.
Is it necessary to calculate the old and new accounts together?
"We have many players' confessions in our hands, and they have also expressed their willingness to cooperate with our investigation. GEA is involved in 70% of the football business in Serie A. We have reason to believe that a considerable number of players, especially the players from Juve, have succumbed to the behind the scenes command of gea."
"In the whole process, GEA company used improper means to coerce players, including threats and kidnappings, and we have enough human and material evidence, which you can't rely on."
Moggi's face turned completely white, and he leaned weakly against the back of his seat, sweating.
He knew that all his details had been dug out by the other party.
Now the situation is that his people in the government system and the football association are in danger. The Agnelli family and Juve can't wait to get rid of each other, and the players and referees are turning against each other.
It's not just him who is going to die, but also his son.
Seeing Moggi's appearance, the two prosecutors just looked at each other and laughed, which was not like a suspect.
"One more thing to tell you personally, Mr. Moggi." Naldurch had an air of utterance.
"We have found your family's huge sum of 150 million euros in the Vatican bank. I believe you should have figured out how to explain this sum of money?"
As soon as naldurch's voice fell, he heard a crash in front of him, and Moggi fell from his chair.
The usual majestic and domineering general manager of Juve in the Italian football world, at this moment, he was sweating, sitting on the ground and shaking his head.
"No, no, no, Alessandro is young, he is a good boy, he has nothing to do with all these things."
Naldurch, however, sneered and shook his head, "no, Mr. Moggi, you are wrong. It doesn't matter. We have to find out."
Moggi's eyes were wide open. Suddenly, he didn't know what strength he had. He stood up from the ground and looked at the two prosecutors in front of him.
"OK, I'll cooperate with you. You can let him go and make sure he's OK. I'll do anything!"
