gettin back on topic:
from espn news:
ROME, April 13 (Reuters) - Italy, still smarting after last week's clashes between Manchester United fans and police in Rome, are taking a big step toward a more English-style security scheme swapping police for stewards in stadiums.
This week's decision, which aims to gradually replace police with stewards, comes just days before UEFA's Executive Committee decides who will host the 2012 European soccer championship.
Italy is a candidate, as are Ukraine-Poland and Croatia-Hungary.
Italy already has stewards in stadiums but Interior Minister Giuliano Amato said that this week's 'protocol of understanding' commits sporting authorities to give stewards the training they need to carry out the security tasks now handled by police.
Amato said the plan would eventually make police 'superfluous', and compared it to English-style security. It was not clear how long it would take for police to be completely eliminated from stadiums.
'I have an appreciation for the English model. We ourselves are heading in that direction and this agreement is a testament to that,' Amato told reporters.
At least 18 fans were injured in clashes between police and rival fans at last week's Champions League quarter-final first leg in Rome, sparking accusations by United and their supporters of heavy-handedness by Italian police.
Rome security officials deny wrongdoing. Amato tried his best to strike a conciliatory tone at the signing ceremony for the stewards measure on Thursday, saying 'we try to see the vices and virtues on both sides'.
'There is no doubt that during the Rome-Manchester match at the Olympic stadium there was one policeman who used his truncheon excessively against a person on the ground,' he said. (:applause: )
'But to judge our police based on that single image is distortion ... The worst things happened outside (the stadium). There were injuries caused by stabbings and certainly not by police.'
Achille Serra, the government official responsible for public security in Rome, repeatedly defended the police saying they acted properly and decisively.
Amato, speaking about the English model, said he admired the speed with which British security responded at stadiums.
'Part of the English model is also the immediacy with which one acts against who carries out acts of violence in the stadiums, and this, I think, is the best deterrent.'

concerning the agent Raciti's death, yesterday italian tv showed an important video. Raciti was visibly limping and touching his own flank....
the intersting thing is that this video has been filmed 18 mins before that accident with the police car (the same accident that policeman was talking about in that testimony).
So the "accident theory" and that testimony becomes even weaker than before.

concerning calciopoli (moggi-gate):
yesterday the pm (magistrates) Beatrice and Narducci formalized their accusations to all the people who was involved in the moggi scandal, this summer.
all the sentences and punishments we saw till now were from sport authorities and sport courts.
Yesterday the criminal trial started, as the "investigation phase" finished.
48 "avvisi di garanzia" (formal accusation acts) have been sent to 48 people (moggi, giraudo, 14 refs, 15 linesmen, ex federcalcio managers and some serie a clubs financial managers, like Fabiani, financial manager of Messina football team).
the accusations are for "associazione a delinquere".... honestly i don't know how to translate it, but it's one of the heaviest criminal accusations..
things will get very intersting soon.....
