Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has been cleared by the Court of Milan of any wrong doing after Inter made a case for defamation against him.
The Nerazzurri took Moggi to court, accusing him of defaming the club in an interview he gave to Libero magazine in 2006 after the Calciopoli scandal had come to light.
Inter accused Moggi of defamation after the former Juventus man claimed that the Milanese club had escaped punishment for their involvement in the Alvaro Recoba fake Italian passport scandal.
The Nerazzurri were outraged as they had appeared before the Court of Udine regarding the Recoba passport claims. Massimo Moratti launched a claim against Moggi after the interview with Libero was published.
The judge involved in the case has now cleared Moggi, deciding that his words were "an expression of opinion which he had the right to and they could only be described as inaccurate at worst, rather than subject to punishment via the court system."
Therefore Moggi's comments were judged to be fair and little more than what he felt to be true.
