The chaos related to the referees continues after a statement made by an anonymous referee to "Le Iene", broadcasted on January 23rd. The president of FIGC Gabriele Gravina has instructed his lawyers to prepare a report to be presented at the Public Prosecutor's Office in Rome in the next few hours. This action aims to verify the truthfulness of the anonymous referee's statements and to push for more thorough checks on what happened.
President Gravina has stated: «Italian referees represent an excellence recognized internationally. A significant rejuvenation process of the refereeing team has been initiated, which is yielding excellent results. Out of 1076 VAR checks, so far the potential error rate has been reduced by 91% and stands at a residual 0.84%; we have embarked on a path of transparency and quality information, bringing referees in front of the television screen. We are talking about concrete facts that translate into significant results and that cannot be erased by accusations thrown without any evidentiary verification».
