Inter Milan Close in on Serie A Title as Referee Scandal Rocks Italian Football

Posted : 30 April 2026

Inter Milan are on the brink of securing the Serie A title this weekend as they prepare to face Parma Calcio 1913 at the San Siro. With a commanding 10-point lead over second-placed Napoli, the league leaders need just one more win to confirm their 21st domestic championship.

Their title could even be mathematically secured before kick-off if results elsewhere go their way, with Napoli facing Como and AC Milan also in action. However, Inter’s recent slip-up against Torino, where they squandered a two-goal lead, has added a slight note of caution to what could otherwise be a coronation weekend.

While Inter remain in control of the title race, attention across Italian football has been overshadowed by a growing refereeing scandal. The head of Serie A and Serie B referees, Gianluca Rocchi, has suspended himself amid an investigation in Milan into alleged sporting fraud involving several senior officials.

Prosecutors are examining claims that referee appointments and VAR decisions may have been influenced improperly, with accusations that communication from officiating chiefs impacted key match rulings. Among the matches under scrutiny are several high-profile games from previous seasons, including fixtures involving Inter.

The investigation also includes allegations that VAR officials may have been directed to avoid awarding penalties in certain situations, raising concerns over the integrity of past results. No clubs are currently under investigation, but all individuals named are match officials.

With Italy still reeling from recent national team failures to qualify for the World Cup, the scandal has added further strain to the country’s football system, which is already facing pressure ahead of upcoming federation leadership elections.
