FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Pecoraro says tapes of Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri speaking to Paolo Tagliavento “showed absolutely nothing”.
The Bianconeri boss was seen speaking to the fourth official after the Derby d’Italia with Inter, saying of referee Daniele Orsato: “it went really well… He was so good… Promote him!”.
The footage was passed to the Federation to establish if there had been any wrongdoing, but they decided almost immediately there was no case to answer.
“I saw the videos circulated on the internet but they showed absolutely nothing,” Pecoraro told Tuttosport.
“Nor did they represent a reason to open any file. At most you could object to the ethics of certain attitudes, but I don’t deal with ethics.
“From a disciplinary point of view it has no relevance whatsoever. Full stop.
“Social media barely counts for anything because there’s a fundamental problem: the certainty and the neutrality of the sources themselves.
“If I watch a video of a certain event, how can I be sure of its authenticity?
“It’s one thing if reports come to me from the employees of the federal prosecutor or the police, quite another if it's videos that appear on the internet.”
