No amnesty for clubs in match-fixing scandal

THE four clubs involved in Serie A’s match-fixing scandal will not be granted an amnesty as a result of Italy’s World Cup success, according to Italian Football Federation (FIGC) chief investigator Francesco Borrelli.

The country is still celebrating the national team’s success in Germany following their penalty shoot-out win over France on Sunday.

However, the Azzurri’s triumph will not change the course of the trial currently taking place in Rome.
