Whenever the Derby d’Italia approaches, you can always expect controversies from the past to resurface in the run-up to the big occasion.
As we all know, the Calciopoli scandal remains the darkest episode involving Juventus and Inter.
In 2006, the Bianconeri were relegated to Serie B and were stripped of two league titles, one of them for the Nerazzurri, due to alleged match-fixing, with former sporting director Luciano Moggi at the center of the accusations.
Recently, the ex-owner of Inter, Massimo Moratti, revived the debate with some statements that did not sit down with the faithful of the Old Lady.

The Italian lawyer remains puzzled by the appearance of evidence against Inter five years after the initial trial, which meant that the Nerazzurri were protected by the statute of limitations (a law that prohibits trial after the passage of a certain time limit). .

“Someone hid the folder, someone powerful enough to hide such a thing.
“But I did not understand, however, why after 5 years they made it reappear. Perhaps to give Juventus one more moral slap, and if to tell us that they can hide something and make it appear whenever they want.
