The former Juventus chief will fight his lifetime ban from the game after being cleared of two charges related to the Calciopoli scandal and seeing another dropped
Former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi has vowed to fight his lifetime ban from football after Calciopoli charges against him were dropped.
Italy's highest court ruled on Monday that the statute of limitations had expired on the accusation of conspiracy made against Moggi and his former colleague Antonio Giraudo around the Calciopoli scandal of 2006.
It means they will avoid jail time and Moggi was also acquitted of two other charges of sporting fraud. In 2011, both men had their five-year suspensions from football extended to lifetime bans.
"My battle goes on," Moggi told Radio CRC. "I will go to the European Court of Human Rights to have my sporting suspension cancelled and I will return to football."
Moggi and Giraudo were accused of exerting influence over a number of Italian football officials who were involved in the selection of referees for Serie A matches.
Juventus were stripped of their 2005-06 Scudetto, relegated to Serie B and deducted nine points in the aftermath of the scandal.
