He says he'll kill himself when he's found guilty.
quote:


Former Italy and AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has rejected accusations of his alleged involvement in match-fixing and dramatically claimed he would kill himself if found guilty.

Gattuso, a 2006 World Cup winner who played for Rangers in the late 1990s, was on Tuesday named by Italian media in a probe being carried out by Cremona's prosecuting office.

Ex-Lazio midfielder Cristian Brocchi is included in the investigation, according to reports.

Both face allegations that they were involved in a betting ring that fixed Serie A and other Italian games in the 2010-11 campaign.

...

"If something was proven I would be willing to go out into the street and, I know this is a strong thing to say, I would kill myself.

...

"We are remaining calm and we have to be patient and see how the investigation develops.

I can't believe how under the radar this thing has gone. I would imagine it's probably a huge deal in Italy right now, but no one else seems to care that much. Some of the teams/players that have been found guilty or are being investigated are some of the biggest in Italy.

He's lucky Joe Jordan didn't do it for him a few years back.

You'd think the Italians learned a little something from the Juventus debacle several years ago that got them relegated to Serie C1 (even though they got bumped back up to Serie B on "appeal").

Dumbasses, the lot of them.

This isn't shocking, the Italian Mob has a huge influence on the Seriea and clubs.

Also, The EPL will be next to be hammered, Asian Mobsters all over that league, as well as the Greek soccer leagues. Wouldn't be shock if other leagues fall from match fixing.

Asian Mobsters fix matches all over Europe.

I lived with two Italians when I lived in France, one of whom keeps posting stuff on facebook about Gattuso. I imagine it's a pretty huge deal in Italy right now.

Juve thing has been proven false time and time again, this is more sensationalism drubbed up by the media.

Nobody in Italy is paying attention.
