Moggi banned for life by Italy FA

     ROME, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Former Juventus director manager Luciano Moggi has been banned for life from all Italian soccer, the country's soccer governing body said in a statement on Wednesday.

    Antonio Giraudo, former Juventus general manager, and Innocenzo Mazzini, former vice-president of Italian Footall Federation¹ (FIGC), have also received lifetime bans .

    Although the ruling on this scandal was back in 2006, the FIGC has only on Wednesday officially inflicted² "a permanent ban from any position or category within the Federation.""Moggi's ban is entirely³ in proportion with his behaviour, taking into account their intrinsic seriousness and the abhorrent⁴ consequences," read the Disciplinary Commission's statement.

    "The fact others may have behaved in similar fashion, which still has to be proved, does not take away from the gravity of his ban.

    "Mazzini is punished for the extraordinary gravity of his behaviour and the insult towards the prestigious⁵ position of Vice-President. He sought to alter sporting results and favour the interests of individuals."Moggi, Giraudo and Mazzini were accused of attempting to influence or pressure referees⁷.

    In 2006 they were suspended for five years with the suggestion of a permanent ban.

    Right now there is a trial taking place in Naples with new evidence put forward by Moggi''s lawyers, claiming many other clubs, including Inter⁶ Milan, behaved in similar fashion.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
