The "scandal" is more complex of what many answerers have indicated (many of them absolutely incorrect):
There are match-fixing charges against four top soccer clubs (Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina, and Lazio) and 26 officials: that happened at least in the last two soccer Italian Championship.
In addition, some other Fisrt Division (Serie A) teams and managers are involved in other charges related to inappropriate players transfer.
What triggered the scandal is the former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi, who was tapped with phone calls with officials and referee designators.
All the accused have been charged with sporting fraud and unfair conduct, which could lead to the teams being relegated and the individuals being either suspended or banned from football.
Juventus may be demoted in 3rd division (serie C) and the other three teams may be demoted in 2nd division (Serie B).

It was about games which were frauded by some Italian teams (Inter, Milan and others). They hired referees and bought their matches. As a punishment, they will probably be forced to play in an inferior league.

Which one ? It's countless, believe me. Going back to before World War Two with the castigation of Giuseppe Meazza, something rears it's head every so often.

Juventus has stolen the matches for many years, so now it will play in C2 serie. After, mOGGI (DO YOU KNOW HIM) has "helped" lAZIO AND fIORENTINA. tHESE 2 TEAMS risk a pnalization. Milan has stolen 1 match but it doesn't risk.
