Juventus coach implicated in match fixing - Mail & Guardian Online

Juventus coach implicated in match fixing - Mail & Guardian Online: The saga has now also ensured that at least one player won’t be at the European Championship.

Police swept through the Italian national squad’s training camp near Florence as part of a wide-ranging investigation into fixing that resulted in 14 arrests – including Lazio captain Stefano Mauri – to bring the total number arrested to about 50 since last year.

The Italian soccer federation later said Juventus coach Antonio Conte was under investigation for alleged wrongdoing while in charge of Siena in 2010/11, and announced the withdrawal of defender Domenico Criscito from the Euro 2012 squad a day before the player lists have to be submitted to Uefa.
