Moggi...The Godfather?

The scandal surrounding Italian football has grown to proportional heights and Juventus seem to be the "Godfather's" fort!. Luciano Moggi, the former Owner of Juve, is the Godfather who controls everything in and around Italian Soccer. Now as the investigation carries on, with almost everyone - in the Italian world of football - was investigated and scrutinized. Moggi seems to have everyone in his lap - Referees, Players, Journalists, Media giants....The list goes on.

Matches, Players and Referees were all arranged as per Moggi's wish to the extent that even the Referees for the Juve games were selected by him. Bologna were relegated and it is said that Fiorentina were supposed to be relegated but Bologna did not come to terms with Moggi's system and so were relegated. Around 28 games in the league season are under scrutiny.

If all this is indeed proved, Juve may face relegation and expulsion from the Champions League next season. Does Italy need all this before the world cup? This is certainly gonna have an effect on Lippi - who was also involved - and the National Team.

Why the Silence? Are they following 'Omerta'?
The answer is everybody knows and is afraid of the power of Moggi. Anyone who does not accept his demands, will pay dearly - maybe not with his or her life - but will feel the pinch of Luciano Moggi. This fear of power kept the people who knew this quiet.

Moggi has proved to be the boss of things in Italian Football...The Boss...Don Moggi!
