From The "You Think They Learned Their Lesson" Department:

Moggi had already been banned from football for five years after the first part of the probe for leading attempts to secure compliant referees for some teams' games.
He is now accused of giving foreign mobile telephone SIM cards to match officials to create a secret system of communication with them, the FIGC said on its website.
Moggi is also accused of breaking FIGC rules by carrying out the functions of a club director for Messina, a second-division side who were in the top flight when the scandal broke, while he was also a senior executive of Juventus.
Nine current and former referees and assistants, along with a former refereeing official, are accused of using the SIM cards provided by Moggi.

Could this spell more trouble for "The Old Lady" as they are fighting for a shot at next season's UEFA Champions League?
