The four clubs involved in the Italian match-fixing scandal will not be given any leniency as a result of Italy's
World Cup victory. Serie A sides Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina are currently waiting on a verdict to be delivered after the trial was adjourned to allow the Federal Appeal Commission to consider their verdict. Rumours had begun to surface that the Azzurri's penalty shoot-out win over France in the World Cup final could have an impact on the outcome of the trial. However, Italian Football Federation chief investigator Francesco Borrelli has insisted the decision will not be influenced by the result in Germany. "I believe the disciplinary procedure should have no connection with the victory," said Borrelli. "If we say that a victory should lead to indulgence, then surely a defeat would have brought more extreme measures of severity. "We are therefore talking about two different things." A verdict is expected to be delivered by the end of the week and the clubs involved will then have three days to appeal the decision to the Federal Court.
