Gianluca Rocchi, the head of the Italian refereeing department in the country, has suspended himself following a reported investigation into alleged sporting fraud. The former international referee is under investigation for "complicity in sporting fraud" during the 2024-25 season. The Italian Referees Association (AIA) confirmed Rocchi's suspension following the investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office. The video assistant referee supervisor for Italy's two top divisions, Andrea Gervasoni, has also been placed under investigation. It is alleged that Rocchi was behind the selection of a referee for an Inter Milan game as he was "liked by the team".
