Vieri reports Inter spying to FIGC

Inter: 'Why we spied on Vieri'

Christian Vieri won €1m compensation after Inter were found to be wire-tapping his phone calls, but he is now taking the case to the sporting courts as well.

On Monday the former striker won his civil action against the club and Telecom Italia, who built up a dossier on his activities while he was playing at San Siro.

These allegedly included following him on nights out and wire-tapping his phone calls.

However, the matter is not over yet, as Vieri’s lawyer Danilo Buongiorno confirmed the case will also be heard in the sporting justice system.

“We do not wish to persecute Inter, but it seemed only right to transmit all the evidence to the FIGC prosecutors.

“In our view there is a violation of Article 1 in the Sporting Justice Code, with implications for Articles 18 and 19.

“We must take into account that this went on for five years. The judge only ruled on actions during precise timeframes, which were 1999-2000 and 2004.”

An investigation could aim to discover whether Vieri was alone in being wire-tapped by Telecom Italia and Inter, or indeed other clubs.

“How many people were being tracked? I prefer not to say,” continued his lawyer.

“Vieri is asking only for justice. He gave so much to a club that behaved badly with him.”

The forward played for Inter between 1999 and 2005.

Inter have hit back after being ordered to pay €1m in damages for spying on Christian Vieri and explained why they hired a private investigator to track him.

The striker won his legal challenge, although he had been seeking €20m, for allegations the club had him followed and wiretapped his phone to build up a dossier of off the field behaviour.

“We are certainly a little surprised by the sentence and will appeal, as we are convinced we were in the right,” said director general Marco Fassone.

Vieri’s lawyers have taken the matter to the FIGC, which could in theory see the club penalised in a sporting court as well as a civil one.

“In sporting justice terms the events in question have already been buried, as the statute of limitations has expired,” added Inter lawyer Fabio Iudica.

“As if that weren’t enough, the sentence specifies clearly that it in no way affected the career of the player. There are therefore no damages to his image, so we are calm and will block the sentence with an appeal.

“How can anyone talk about revoking Scudetti when the events were in 1999 and 2004? In any case, the fans can relax as the statute of limitations has expired and I get the feeling we won’t even reach the sporting court.”

Somewhat controversially, Inter’s lawyer also explained why the club had hired private detectives to track Vieri’s every move.

“An investigative agency was simply hired to understand if Vieri was behaving within the principle internal rules at Inter.

MILAN – This is what Inter's lawyer Fabio Iudica told Sky Sport 24 this evening, in relation to the Vieri case: "As far as sporting justice is concerned, the events have exceeded the statute of limitations, which is two years for clubs. In any case the ruling explains that Christian Vieri's career was in no way harmed by the events that were established by the ruling – an initial ruling, let us remember. His right to privacy is the only aspect concerned. All the other factors for which Vieri has requested damages have been dismissed. That's why we are not worried."

As for the possibility of Scudetto titles being revoked, Iudica explained: "The events refer to a period of time between 1999 and 2004. Inter didn't win any Scudetti in that period so there is nothing to discuss and we really do not understand how people can talk about revoking titles. I want to reassure all the fans that there is no problem at all, statute of limitations or otherwise. Why was Vieri spied on? To check that he was behaving in a manner coherent with Inter's internal regulations, that's all. Were other people involved? I don't think anyone else is involved. My own view is that this matter will not go to the sporting justice system, nor will Vieri himself even."

FASSONE:
Fassone was also asked to comment on the Christian Vieri case and the statements made by his lawyer: "Regardless of what his lawyer has said, we are of course somewhat surprised by the ruling and we're going to lodge an appeal confident that we're in the right."

Fassone doesn't feel the club risks being summoned to a court of sporting justice: "We don't think that is going to happen, but while on one side the ruling has been made public and we can analyse it knowing the facts, on the other side we can't do that yet, because all we have are the respectable statements made by his lawyer. If they also lead to something, then we'll discuss it and verify it. The ruling has surprised us in a way so we will be appealing against it."

Too bad he sued us. He got his 1€ m compensation. He should rest the case before it gets worse for both sides.. Too bad Bobo, you surely deserved a better place then just Former Players.

 

[Handoyo]

I don't think there is an Inter legend who have fallen so far from grace than him.

 

[monster09]

I don't get it, Vieri's phone was tapped so he sued Inter. Not his mistake right? Or am I missing something here..

 

[Bergpavian]

I also don't get it why it's Vieris mistake. The club even admitted that he was spied.

 

[Handoyo]

He has made his point. He has proven that the club is guilty in spying on him. He has received his damage compensation.

No need to drag this bullshit further.

History is written on the pitch.

I respect him for that.

I love this club, but when it crosses the line of football into invading someone's privacy out of football; then this club needs to be held accountable. Because now it's not a case of Christian Vieri the footballer, it's about the life of a person off the pitch. No excuses - we'll move on from this.

 

[.h.]

You realize WHY we tapped his phone, right?

We were worried he was breaching his obligations to the team in terms of his partying and so forth. Indeed the evidence even shows that he did.

A footballer's obligations to his club arent just on the pitch. There are all sorts of off-the-pitch things too, like media/image rights, etc.

Now, I'm not aware of the intimate details of his contract, so I cant comment in full, but Inter were reasonably JUSTIFIED (morally, but not legally) in tapping his phone.

 

[Nero Indigo]

Dude, that still does not make it right to tap someone's phone. Are you trying to tell me there are no other ways of doing such things!? No excuses man.

 

[.h.]

What, like hiring someone to follow him? I'm sure we'd be in court for that now, too.


I didnt say it was legal, but if a player is in breach of their contract, the club is entitled to try and prove it.

 

[Handoyo]

Maybe we were thinking that Vieri is in cahoots with the Moggis, and purposely played poorly at times. I know he did well up to 2003 but he went on a decline after that. Or maybe that Vieri bet against Inter and fixed some matches ala Cristiano Doni.

Huge maybes though

I don't think it's related to just partying, otherwise Adriano would have gotten 100m Euros in damages from us spying him.

 

[Nero Indigo]

But Vieri did decline after a while and it was apparent even on the world stage. What did they find out against Bobo so far? that he partied? Ok. So he didn't do the diabolical stuff they suspected him for - So if I was in his shoes and found out this shit: How the fuck would I not be ticked!? That the club I played for tapped my damn phone!? Nah! I'm thinking out of the box on this one. It is not morally JUSTIFIED - You sure as hell can't even try something like this in american sports. Anyways, we'll move on from this.

Vieri belongs in La Grande Inter, these wire tappings were done by Inter and Veiri had a right to be pissed, furthermore Inter no longer wanted his services which is why he went to play at Milan. Its not like Veiri was the first to do this, our greatest Legend Giuseppe Meazza did the same thing and i dont hold it against him. Vieri was extraordinary for Inter and will always be one of my favorites of all time

Veiri is an alltime Inter top goal scorer and was even Serie A top goal scorer while at Inter, but had the misfortune of playing in the time of Calciopoli which Inter should have been awarded at least 2 more scudetto.

Except for that Meazza didn't sue us.
No but I would like to see him in La Grande either. Vieri was a beast for us.

 

[lonewolf19]

Fucking scum!

 

[Bergpavian]

Ahm.

Let's take a look at our most successful striker:

1. Giuseppe Meazza: Inter - Milan - Jubentus
2. Alessandro Altobelli: Inter - Jubentus
3. Roberto Boninsegna: Inter - Jubentus
4. Luigi Cevenini: Milan - Inter - Milan - Inter - Novese - Inter - Jubentus

Vieri = LGI ... It was his right to sue us.
