Former Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni says 'there is some truth' to latest match-fixing scandal stories This only damages us because I can claim to have paid the price for an attitude that affects everyone. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed that Mauri and Milanetto have been held over allegations of "criminal association and sporting fraud." Officers are searching more than 31 homes in Italy and abroad, including those of coaches and players of clubs in Serie A, Serie B and lower divisions. Police also showed up on Monday morning at Italy's training ground in Coverciano, Florence, to question former Genoa defender Domenico Criscito, who now plays for Zenit St Petersburg. A statement from the FIGC read: "As part of the investigation carried out by prosecutors of Cremona regarding match-fixing, prosecutor Guido Salvini has issued 19 procedures: 14 people arrested [including Mauri and Milanetto], 31 home searches and two people questioned. Police agents also arrived to Italy's training ground in Coverciano this morning to hand a notification of impeding investigation to defender Domenico Criscito, who is investigated for acts that would have taken place while he was a Genoa player. Trapattoni, whose side were paired with Italy in Group C at the upcoming European Championships, does not believe the latest scandal will have a negative impact on the Azzurri, however. Italy won the 2006 World Cup in Germany despite having the cloud of a match-fixing scandal hanging over them at the time. "It's clear that certain stories provoke anger," Trapattoni said. But it could also give a push [to the team] to prove the clean face of football. Italian Olympic Committee vice-president Luca Pancalli was equally saddened by the latest football scandal to rock the nation. "The courage to speak must be there in order to put an end to this issue and to start again," he told Gazzetta. As a man of sport and as a citizen I feel infinite sadness. The sporting justice has other time limits with respect to the ordinary justice and it's clear that there will be (sporting) repercussions. Italy coach Cesare Prandelli was set to announce his Euro 2012 squad on Monday, though has postponed it until Tuesday. Criscito's agent Andrea D'Amico insisted his client was not concerned. He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I have spoken to Mimmo [Domenico] this morning and he is absolutely calm. Mimmo is ready to explain anything that may have caused him to be under the spotlight. Our legal team is working in order for the magistrates to listen to him as soon as possible. However, Criscito will now miss Euro 2012 in order to clear his name, FIGC vice president Demetrio Albertini told reporters. "Criscito will not be with us at the European Championship," Albertini said. He is in a hurry to end this current situation and that is his aim. He is disappointed to have caused this situation although he reiterates he has nothing to do with it. The decision not to include Criscito is a collective decision. The Federation has given Prandelli its support over this decision. Arrests have been made today but until proven otherwise, we are talking about innocent people even though they are considered suspects. I know Domenico and he is incredulous. He is an extraordinary guy and he has already seen his lawyers this morning. It is a strange day for us. These are things that we would not like to have had to go through. Today's operation is part of an investigation called "Last Bet" carried out by prosecutors in Cremona which focuses on 33 games over the past two seasons, the majority of which were in Serie B. Earlier this month, the FIGC released a comprehensive 48-page list naming 22 clubs along with 61 individuals that have been reported to the football authorities in connection with a match-fixing ring and betting investigation. Seventeen people were arrested by Italian police last year, including Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni. Atalanta, who had been promoted to Serie A at the end of the 2010-11 season, began the recently completed campaign with a six-point deduction as punishment for match-fixing. Doni was banned from football for three and a half years by the FIGC's disciplinary committee.
