ROME: Italian Serie A clubs Lazio and Genoa, lower league side Lecce and eight players have been referred to a disciplinary tribunal over allegations of match-fixing in the 2010/11 season, the Italian football federation (FIGC) said yesterday.
Lazio midfielder Stefano Mauri was among the eight players who were accused of “sporting fraud” by FIGC after it examined reports by investigators in the town of Cremona. The hearing is due to take place on July 24.
The matches under investigation are Lazio’s final two games of the 2010-11 season when they beat Genoa 4-2 at home and Lecce by the same score away.
The three clubs were reported for “objective liability” and could face points deductions next season.
